Qumran Studies in Hungary / Hungarian Scholarship on Qumran

• See Qumran Scholars in Hungary

Overview

The first Hungarian scholars to publish articles on the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 1950s and 1960s were Andor Szorenyi, Alexander (Sándor) Scheiber (Budapest Rabbinical Seminary), and most notably, István Hahn (Eotvos Lorand University).

Hahn promoted the publication in 1961 of the Hungarian edition of Burrows' volume (containing the translation of six scrolls by Geza Komoróczy), and of Stoll's works in 1967.

In the 1970s and 1980s no major work appeared in Hungary except the translation of the introduction to Qumran Studies by Iosif D. Amusin.

After the end of the Cold War, Hungarian scholars have rejoined the international community and a series of major publications have followed, by [[ Géza G. Xeravits.
