Funding Information:
The papers in this volume were presented June 26–30, 2016 at a research workshop “New Aspects of the Texts and Languages of the Dead Sea Scrolls,” which was sponsored by the Israel Science Foundation together with the Academy of the Hebrew Language, Tel Aviv University, and the Eliezer Ben-Yehuda Center for the Study of the History of the Hebrew Language at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The conference was an eighth international symposium on the Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Ben Sira. The idea of a symposium devoted to the language of the Hebrew Dead Sea Scrolls and Ben Sira was conceived by Prof. Takamitsu Muraoka, who hosted the first two meetings in Leiden (1995 and 1997), which were followed by symposia in Beer Sheva (1999), Strasbourg (2006 and 2014), Jerusalem (2008), and Leuven (2011).
