The Scroll of the War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness
Jerusalem: The Bialik Institute, n/d. Hardcover. 397,vi,pp. Brown cloth with gold lettering on spine in original illustrated dust jacket. "This book is divided into two parts: an introduction and emendated edition of the text with a full commentary. Since the Scroll of The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness deals with a variety of subjects to which it returns several times it seemed preferable to dedicate a separate chapter to the detailed discussion of each of the subjects referred to in the Scroll, irrespective of the order of their appearance. Thus the commentary could be concentrated on amendments to the text and to philological and literary aspects of it. Accordingly, the reader who is interested mainly in the subjects discussed in the Scroll, will find these treated in great detail in the introduction with full references to the text itself in the footnotes, while one who is interested mainly in the philological and textural problems of the Scroll will find these delineated in the commentary with references to the chapters of the introduction."
