The Thanksgiving Hymns have been studied extensively. Check Eileen
Schuller's entries on our bibliography. Our director, Esther Chazon, has
written a great deal on the hymns and liturgy of Qumran. In fact, prayer
and poetry at Qumran is the subject of this year's international Orion
symposium, to be held in January.
