關於本電子書
The book journeys through time, examining significant examples, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, which shed light on Judaism and early Christianity, and Egyptian papyri, revealing details of daily life and governance. It also studies medieval illuminated manuscripts, uncovering artistic and theological developments. By blending material analysis with intellectual history, Ancient Scrolls uniquely emphasizes not only what the scrolls say but also how they were made and how their meanings have evolved.
Structured in three parts, the book begins with the physical nature of scrolls, moves into specific cultural examples, and concludes with modern interpretation and preservation. This comprehensive approach makes the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, religion, or the preservation of cultural heritage, offering accessible insights into the ancient world.
