With Wisdom as a Robe: Qumran and Other Jewish Studies (2009) is a collection of essays in honor of Ida Fröhlich, edited by Károly Dobos and Miklós Koszeghy.

Abstract

"Professor Ida Frhlich, Professor of Hebrew Studies and Ancient Near Eastern History in the Pzmny Pter Catholic University, Budapest, is a celebrated scholar who has been in the forefront of the remarkable development of Hebrew and Jewish studies in recent decades in Hungary. Among her important publications are 'Time and times and half a time': Historical Consciousness in the Jewish Literature of the Persian and Hellenistic Eras (1996), and, more recently, the first translation of the corpus of the Dead Sea Scrolls into Hungarian. Her current major project is, in collaboration with a group of younger scholars, to prepare a Hungarian translation of all the apocryphal and pseudepigraphical materials. In this very substantial volume, presented to her on the occasion of her sixtieth birthday, the essays of 37 international scholars are arranged in three sections: (1) Hebrew Bible / Old Testament, (2) Apocrypha-Pseudepigrapha and Qumran, and (3) Jewish Studies / Christian Interpretation."--Publisher description.
