The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls
In English
Translated and Edited with an Introduction
by Geza Vermes
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in
the Judean desert between 1947 and 1956
was one of the greatest archaeological
finds of all time. Hidden in the caves at
Qumran by the Essenes, a Jewish sect in
existence before and during the time of
Jesus, these extraordinary manuscripts
have transformed our understanding of
the Hebrew Bible, early Judaism, and the
origins of Christianity.

Con Men and Cutpurses
Scenes from the Hogarthian Underworld
Edited with an Introduction by Lucy Moore
This enthralling anthology of eighteenthcentury
writings gives a fascinating insight
into the dreadful misdeeds of—and the
horrible punishments meted out to—an
array of rogues and criminals, from
murderers and swindlers to prostitutes
and pirates. Captured in memoirs, letters,
ballads, and court transcripts are some of
the most colorful villains ever to take their
last gasp in the hangman’s noose.
