L'Ecrit de Damas est un document a part dans la bibliotheque de Qumran decouverte entre 1947 et 1967 sur les bords de la mer Morte. Une partie du document est connue des la fin du XIXe siecle grace a la decouverte de deux manuscrits dans la synagogue du Vieux-Caire en Egypte. L'un de seize pages date du Xe siecle de notre ere, l'autre de deux pages est une copie du XIIe siecle. Dix manuscrits de Qumran, copies au tournant de l'ere chretienne, comblent en partie les lacunes des manuscrits decouverts au Caire. Malgre les dix siecles de difference entre les manuscrits palestiniens et les parchemins egyptiens, une des copies medievales est tres fidele aux manuscrits de Qumran. C'est pourquoi on propose un texte reconstruit a partir des differents manuscrits. Ainsi, les manuscrits palestiniens de l'Ecrit de Damas permettent de restituer des parties du texte perdues dans les copies cairotes. Le Prologue, la premiere serie de lois, la derniere partie du code penal et la conclusion avaient disparu des manuscrits abimes de la synagogue du Caire mais ils ont ete retrouves dans les manuscrits de Qumran.

The authors of this volume attempt to define the concept of retribution by looking beyond its diversity in Jewish and Christian writings, and seeking the common objects and components that govern it in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity, as well as Greek, Islamic and Buddhist texts. They argue that the concept should not be seen as a set of ideas acquired and accepted, but rather as an on-going process. The epistemological current of the Begriffsgeschichte understands conceptualization as a continual process of contesting and questioning, rather than something fixed or final. Each study therefore explicitly examines the actors involved, their environments and receptions, and whether they were accepted, rejected, or modified as components of compensation. The associations made with concepts of wealth, poverty, power, their exchange, transfer, and instance are also taken into consideration.
