Las tradiciones sobre Melquisedec en los manuscritos de Qumrán

This note deals with two topics reflected in the Qumranic text 11QMelchizedek (11Q13) which shed a certain light on two aspects of the messianic beliefs of the Qumran community: the widening in pre-Christian Judaism of the concept of the redeemer of the eschatological time to include a non-human agent of salvation who may be called "messiah", as in Christianity; and the indication of the "messianic" character of the expected eschatological Prophet, announced as a "messenger" by Isaiah and identified as "the anointed of the spirit" in 11QMelch.
