Initially published in 1885, this collection of essays by members of the University of Oxford represents the finest of late nineteenth century scholarship. The set is long out-of-print and difficult to find even in libraries. Volume One focuses on biblical archaeology and criticism while the succeeding volumes are essays in biblical and patristic criticism. Essays include: The Day of St. Polycarp's Martyrdom by C.H. Turner Texts from Mount Athos by Kirsopp Lake Baptism and Christian Archaeology by C.F. Rogers The 'Galatia' of St. Paul and the 'Galatic Territory' of Acts by William M. Ramsay Acta Pilati by F.C. Conybeare Recent Theories on the Origin and Nature of the Tetragammaton by S.R. Driver The Text of the Codex Rossanensis by William Sanday On the Dialects Spoken in Palestine in the Time of Christ by Adolf Neubauer The Argument of Romans 9-11 by Charles Gore The Text of the Canons of Ancyra by R.B. Rackham

This volume remembers Géza Xeravits, a well known scholar of deuterocanonical and Qumran literature. The volume is divided into four sections according to his scholarly work and interest. Contributions in the first part deal with Old Testament and related issues (Thomas Hiecke, Stefan Beyerle, and Mattew Goff). The second section is about the Dead Sea Scrolls (John J, Collins, John Kampen, Peter Porzig, Eibert Tigchelaar, Balázs Tamási and Réka Esztári). The largest part is the forth on deuterocanonica (Beate Ego, Lucas Brum Teixteira, Fancis Macatangay, Tobias Nicklas, Maria Brutti, Nuria, Chalduch-Benages, Panc Beentjes, Ben Wright, Otto Mulder, Angelo Passaro, Friedrich Reiterer, Severino Bussino, Jeremy Corley and JiSeong Kwong). The third section deals with some cognate literature (József Zsengellér and Karin Schöpflin). The last section about the Ancient Synagogue has the paper of Anders Kloostergaard Petersen. Some hot topics are discussed, for example the Two spirits in Qumran, the cathegorization of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the authorship and antropology of Ben Sira, and the angelology of Vitae Prophetarum.

Trying to identify abbreviated titles of journals and standard bibliographic works is a major difficulty facing researchers and librarians in the field of Classical Studies. This revised edition has been greatly expanded, with nearly twice the abbreviations (17,000) and bibliographic entries (12,400) as the first edition. Also, the Greek and Cyrillic abbreviations have increased by seven and four fold respectively. Abbreviations for internet sites are now included, as are those for associations in the broad area of Classical Studies. There are also more entries for Eastern European and regional archaeological publications. This revised volume is divided into two parts. Part One consists of an alphabetical listing of bibliographic abbreviations found in the scholarship of classical studies and related disciplines. Meanwhile, Part Two is an alphabetically arranged bibliographic descriptions for the works published in classical studies and related disciplines. Special efforts were made to increase the coverage in peripheral areas, making this new edition a useful reference tool for scholars in all subjects of study in the ancient and medieval world.
