Fragmentary Aramaic Deeds of Obligation and Conveyance: New Collations and Restorations

When printing fragmentary texts, editors must decide how much restoration and interpretation to provide. There are three approaches: 1. the zero approach, where restoring a partially damaged word at the edges of the fragment is the most work that will be done, 2. minimalist, where missing text was not restored but in the notes were proposed restorations, interpretations and the general meaning of the text and 3. maximalist, which tries to restore everything, distinguishing in the notes what is certain and what is conjecture.
