Call For Papers: For the 2021 ISBL meeting at the University of Kent, England, the Qumran and Dead Sea Scrolls program unit is hosting a joint session with the Septuagint Studies program unit on the contributions of the Qumran biblical scrolls to the understanding of the Septuagint both as a textual witness to the Hebrew Bible and a historical document in its own right. We welcome proposals that can offer a broad retrospective examination of this topic and those that take up specific texts or group of texts, with priority given to proposals that proceed from the latest research in the study of the Scrolls (e.g., material reconstruction, scribal practices) and the textual criticism of the Septuagint. All proposals are asked to clearly identify the texts under discussion and the methodological approach that will be used. This session will include an invited respondent to the papers. The second session is an invited review panel discussing Henryk Drawnel's recent publication of the Aramaic Manuscripts of Enoch from Cave 4, published by Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2020. The Qumran and DSS program unit will also host a third session for studies that focus especially on the contributions to Scrolls scholarship by British scholars. Papers for this session and also for the mandatory open session should clearly state the method used and identify the texts under discussion.
