Norman Golb (1928 - 2020)

SAD NEWS: Dr. Norman Golb 1928 - 2020. Professor Golb did important work on the Cairo Geniza. His hypothesis that the Dead Sea Scrolls are the remnant of literary archives from Jerusalem is probably ultimately wrong, but he had some valid points and he made colleagues think outside the box. May his memory be for a blessing.
