"The final season of excavations at Tel Beer-sheba, the eighth, took place in the summer of 1976 and was carried out after his demise by Aharoni's chief assistants, Ze'ev Herzog, Itzhaq Beit-Arieh and Anson F. Rainey. The latter two regrettably did not live to see the completion of this publication. But they shared in the work, as did the young staff members who enabled the Tel Beer-sheba project to become a reality. To Fredrick Brandfon of the University of Pennsylvania, Steven Derfler of the University of Minnesota and Le-Grande Davies of Brigham Young University go our sincere thanks"-- (Preface) Contents: Intro; CONTENTS; PREFACE; CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INTRODUCTION; CHAPTER 2: TOPOGRAPHY AND STRATIGRAPHY; APPENDIX 2.1: CHALCOLITHIC OBJECTS IN THE IRON AGE STRATA; CHAPTER 3: THE NORTHERN QUARTER; CHAPTER 4: THE EASTERN QUARTER; CHAPTER 5: THE SOUTHERN QUARTER; CHAPTER 6: THE BASEMENT BUILDING AREA; CHAPTER 7: THE CENTRAL QUARTER; CHAPTER 8: THE WESTERN QUARTER; CHAPTER 9: THE WATER SUPPLY; REFERENCES; CONTENTS; CHAPTER 10: THE IRON IIA AND IIB POTTERY: AN INTRODUCTION; CHAPTER 11: POTTERY FROM STRATA VII-IV: THE IRON IIA PERIOD; CHAPTER 12: POTTERY FROM STRATA III-I: THE IRON IIB PERIOD; CHAPTER 13: POTMARKSCHAPTER 14: STANDARDIZATION AND MASS PRODUCTION; CHAPTER 15: VOLUME MEASUREMENTS; CHAPTER 16: PETROGRAPHIC ANALYSES; CONTENTS; CHAPTER 17: CUNEIFORM INSCRIPTION; CHAPTER 18: A SOUTH ARABIAN INSCRIPTION; CHAPTER 19: THE GLYPTIC MATERIAL; CHAPTER 20: EGYPTIAN OBJECTS; CHAPTER 21: CLAY FIGURINES; CHAPTER 22: SCALE WEIGHTS; CHAPTER 23: METAL OBJECTS; APPENDIX 23.1: CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF COPPER-BASED OBJECTS; CHAPTER 24: BEER-SHEBA UNDER ATTACK: A STUDY OF ARROWHEADS AND THE STORY OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE IRON AGE SETTLEMENT; CHAPTER 25: ALTARS AND ART OBJECTS; CHAPTER 26: STONE TOOLSCHAPTER 27: WORKED BONE AND IVORY OBJECTS; CHAPTER 28: TEXTILE-RELATED OBJECTS; CHAPTER 29: TEXTILE REMAINS AND TEXTILE IMPRESSIONS; CHAPTER 30: JEWELRY; CHAPTER 31: ARCHAEOZOOLOGICAL FINDS FROM STRATA IX-III AND I; CHAPTER 32: THE FAUNAL REMAINS FROM STRATUM II; CHAPTER 33: ARCHAEOBOTANICAL REMAINS; CHAPTER 34: EVIDENCE FOR IRON WORKING; CHAPTER 35: HOUSEHOLD ACTIVITIES; CHAPTER 36: SOCIAL, HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL RAMIFICATIONS; CHAPTER 37: RECONSTRUCTING TEL BEER-SHEBA: CONCEPTUAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES IN SITE PRESERVATION; LIST OF LOCI; Blank Page; Blank Page (OCLC) Number 33 in the monograph series, "Tel Aviv University, Sonia and Marco Nadler Institute of Archaeology.". …

Octavo. xxii, 553, (1)pp. Text in English and parallel text in the original Coptic and English. Forest green cloth lettered in gilt, with publisher's device on front cover. An ex-library copy with minimal rubber stamping on title & at bottom of text block, and a library pocket on rear pastedown, otherwise a fine, as new copy. The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient books (called "codices") containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. The 13 papyrus books (codices) turned out to contain gospels, apocalypses, prayers, liturgical writings and acts of various apostles, none of which were included in the Bible. It also includes observations and commentaries on topics such as the meaning of existence, the creation of humankind and the nature of salvation. Since their discovery these works have provoked enormous interest amongst scholars and the public alike due to the startling new light they throw on the early Christian movement. The provenance of the Nag Hammadi Codices has been a point of contention among scholars ever since they were discovered. A new book strongly supports the hypothesis that they were manufactured and read by Christian monks in the fourth and fifth centuries.
