Summary:

This volume consists of an edition, a translation and a commentary of
the most important fragments of 4QInstruction. Initially it deals
with the linguistic characteristics of the scroll highlighting the
links between 4QInstruction and Ben Sira, and also with the Community
Rule and the Hodayot. It then investigates the Sapiential fragments
dealing with poverty, husband-wife and parent-child relationships.
Finally it examines the eschatological fragments. The work seeks to
improve the edition and understanding of this fundamental text
enhancing our knowledge of the history and development of thinking at
Qumran. Moreover, it examines links which 4QInstruction establishes
between purely Sapiential discourse and descriptions of
eschatological judgement. This study substantially illuminates our
understanding of the Wisdom movement in the early intertestamental
period.
