This book is a revised version of the author’s Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Helsinki. As Hanna Vanonen states in the introduction (1–27), her study was prompted by a desire to understand the polarized thinking of some ancient Jewish manuscripts. She focussed her attention on a group of ten manuscripts that have been related in some way or another to the famous War Scroll found in Qumran Cave 1 (1QMilḥamah or 1QM). Her aim is first to provide a material and textual analysis of these manuscripts »treating them as important material on their own right« (25), and then to compare them with one another and with 1QM at material, lexical and thematic levels. The study is divided in two uneven parts labelled »Analysis« (29–245) and »Discussion« (247–300).
