Elements of this project have appeared in other forms over the years. In 2011, a preliminary version of our 11Q19 edition was published in the series The Dead Sea Scrolls: Hebrew, Ara- maic,andGreekTextswithEnglishTranslations,editedbyJames H.Charlesworth.Thatvolumeincludedtwoversionsof thisedi- tion, one that conformed to the series’ general format, which eschews textual reconstruction, and a “composite” edition that featuredourmaximalreconstructionsbasedonmanuscriptevi- denceandotherconsiderations.Thevolumealsoincludedsome ofourdiscussionontherelationshipbetweenthevariousTemple Scroll manuscripts and the difficulties involved in their recon- struction. These preliminary editions have since been heavily revised, having taken advantage of the abovementioned photo- graphicresourcesthatbecameavailablesoonafterthepublica- tion of the 2011 volume.
