This volume contains a completed edition of Didymus the Blind’s commentary on Psalms 26:10–29:2 and Psalms 36:1–3 that was discovered in Tura in the early 1940s.

This clearly-argued work sheds new light on the liturgy associated with the 364-day calendar used at Qumran and its foundation in early myths.

REVIEWED by The Times Literary Supplement

“How it came to be forgotten, and how it was rediscovered, is the story told by Eric Marshall White, curator of rare books at Princeton University Library, in his scholarly and richly illustrated study Editio Princeps.”
