Discoveries in the Judaean Desert: Volume VIII. The Greek Minor Prophets Scroll from Nahal Hever (8HevXIIgr)

`The present volume is an official publication of the scroll. In order to provide a transcription of the text, an immense effort has been made to place each fregment in its relative position within its presumed original column ... Beyond the intrinsic interest of its contribution to the history of the Greek text of the OT, there is also much to catch the attention of anyone concerned with scribal traditions and practices of the period.'Israel Exploration Journal, Vol 42 (1992)
