ROME (JTA) — A new Italian
translation of the Bible—both Old
and New Testaments—represent-
ing the achievement of eight years
of work by a team of Jewish,
Roman Catholic, Protestant and
Eastern Orthodox theologians, was
presented here at a reception given
by its publishers, the Mondadori
Co. The work, in two volumes, con-
tains 2,096 pages of text, 56 tables,
color reproductions of paintings by
Botticelli, Rubens and other artists,
and eight reproductions of Jewish
illuminated codices. It is called the
"Concordant Bible."
Jews represented on the edito-
rial committee were Rabbi Elio
Toaff of Rome and Rabbi Alfredo
Ravenna, a lecturer in Hebrew at
Rome University,
Rabbi Toaff told the gathering
that the authors had used Hebrew,
Aramaic and Greek original
sourcess for the translation. Cath-
olic speakers cited the contribu-
tions made by the Jewish scholars,
which, they said, were appropriate
because "the Jewish people are
the trustees of the Book and Jews
were present in Rome before the
Christians."

WHO IS THE BOSS?
In the beginning, before we were
here, God knew each one of us
well.
When WE claim the wisdom,
We're kidding ourselves,
With a little ax,
the mighty oak, the Lord
can fell.

Israel Museum Smooths
Dead Sea Scroll Wrinkle
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM—One of the Dead
Scrolls housed in the Israel
Museum was slightly damaged re-
cently, but the damage has been
remedied, Prof. Yigal Yadin dis-
closed Tuesday.
The noted archaeologist said the
2,000-year-old parchment was
slightly wrinkled because of
changes in humidity, while air con-
ditioning was being installed in the
room where the scrolls are kept.
Ordinarily the room is kept un-
der controlled temperature and
humidity, but the walls were
opened for a short time to permit
installation of the cooling system.
Prof. Yadin said the wrinkles have
been straightened out. The scroll
affected was the Genesis Apocry-
phon, a version of the story of
Genesis different from the one in
the Old Testament.
