Arbel and Orlov (eds.), With Letters of Light

IN THE MAIL:

Daphna V. Arbel and Andrei A. Orlov (eds.) With Letters of Light: Studies in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Early Jewish Apocalypticism, Magic, and Mysticism (Ekstasis: Religious Experience from Antiquity to the Middle Ages; Berlin: de Gruyter, 2011)

This is a Festschrift in honor of Rachel Elior. I have an article in it on "Scriptural Exegesis in the Treatise of the Vessels, a Legendary Account of the Hiding of the Temple Treasure." (More on The Treatise of the Vessels [Massekhet Kelim] here and follow the links. And, no, I haven't yet tracked down the whereabouts of that marble plaque.) I've had a chance to skim through the volume and it looks very good.
