| Publisher Description: It is well documented that the Qumran community followed a solar calendar which differed fundamentally from the lunar calendar observed at the Temple in Jerusalem. This volume contains Qumran texts which delineated the community's calendar. Some of the texts were written in a unique script known as Cryptic A, indicating their secret nature. |
