Qumran. Die Schriftrollen vom Toten Meer.

Thames & Hudson 2011, cm.19x25, pp. 84, color and 132 black-and-white illustrations hardcover, dustjacket. With numerous factfiles, reconstructions, scroll photographs, and a wealth of other illustrations, it is the most comprehensive and accessible account available on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Ever since the first scrolls were found in the Judaean desert in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have been the subject of passionate speculation and controversy. The possibility that they might challenge assumptions about ancient Judaism and the origins of Christianity, coupled with the extremely limited access imposed for many years, only fueled debate on their meanings. With all the scrolls now available in translation, conclusions can be drawn as to the authorship and origins, their implications for Christianity and Judaism, and their link with the ancient site of Qumran. This book, written by three noted scholars in the field, draws together all the evidence to present a fully illustrated survey of every major manuscript.

Die Schriftrollen von Qumran - über 800 Dokumente aus elf verschiedenen Höhlen der judäischen Wüste - sind in den vergangenen Jahren immer wieder Gegenstand von Verschwörungstheorien gewesen. Jetzt legen erstmals drei führende Qumran-Forscher die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungsergebnisse einer breiten Öffentlichkeit vor. Sie erläutern nicht nur die Bedeutung der Schriftrollen für die komplexe Entwicklungsgeschichte der Hebräischen Bibel, sondern erwecken für die Leser in spannenden Textenund faszinierenden Bildern auch die Welt der Bewohner von Qumran wieder zum Leben.

Roma, Salerno Editrice 2021, cm.15x21,5, pp.199, brossura copertina figurata a colori. Coll.Piccoli Saggi,76. A non molta distanza dalla stazione Termini, il profilo urbano di Roma è segnato dalla presenza di imponenti resti, integrati nelle mura della città: è tutto ciò che rimane del perimetro dei castra praetoria, la caserma che alloggiava le coorti pretorie. Ma chi erano i pretoriani? Gli storici antichi, senatori animati per lo più da sentimenti ostili nei confronti del regime imperiale, non esitavano a considerarli lo strumento di repressione utilizzato dai Principi per schiacciare l’antica libertas repubblicana, quando non addirittura una soldataglia interessata soltanto ad accrescere i propri privilegi. Ancora oggi l’immaginario comune, nutrito dalla vulgata di certa fiction, tende a vedere nei pretoriani gli sgherri in uniforme di imperatori crudeli e pazzoidi: una muta di spietati cani da caccia sempre pronti a mordere persino la mano di chi li nutriva. Questo volume si propone di ampliare la visuale sulle fonti, per meglio definire il volto degli uomini – soldati, tutori dell’ordine, funzionari – che marciarono sotto l’insegna dello Scorpione.
