Exegesis at Qumran: 4Q Florilegium in I

A comprehensive analysis of the text 4Q Florilegium must begin with the acknowledgement that the text is fragmented in nature and alludes to others through quotations. With this acknowledgement, Brooke moves on to address the relevant contextual aspects of the text. What becomes clear is this: without appreciation of exegetical devices and techniques at use in early Judaism, any analysis of 4QFlor is as fragmentary as the text itself.Brooke's thorough and precise methodology for working through the text via context makes this book the go-to work on 4Q Florilegium.
