SYMPOSIUM ON RABBINIC LITERATURE AND THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS:

The Orion website has a page of past symposia associated with the Orion Center for the Study of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The most recent symposium was:

Eighth Orion International Symposium

RABBINICAL PERSPECTIVES: RABBINIC LITERATURE AND THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS

7-9 January, 2003 at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Mt. Scopus Campus


The page contains abstracts or full (unrevised prepublication) texts of papers for the conference. The papers with full texts are listed with their authors' names in capitals on the page. These are:

"Law, Authority and Writing"
Cana Werman

"Things of Specified Measure"
Ahron Shemesh

"Reconstructing Qumranic and Rabbinic Halakhic Worldviews: Dynamic Holiness vs. Static Holiness"
Eyal Regev

"Tannaitic Halakha and Qumran: A Re-Evaluation"
Joseph Baumgarten


Some of them require you to download Hebrew fonts before you can read them fully.

The full page of past Orion symposia leads to pages for each symposium which also have abstracts and prepublication versions of papers. Many of these have since been published.

You can also access a list of all the papers and abstracts on the Orion website.
