Guide of DEAD SEA SCROLLS

Qumran_Archaeometry_Jan_Gunneweg: From where is all that Qumran Pottery
* Dead Sea Scrolls and Pottery at Qumran * Store Jar, really designed to hold a Scroll ? The Dead Sea Provenience Project concerns the Qumran Pottery found in association with the site and the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.
The present Homepage concerns a collaborative project between: The Hebrew University (Jan Gunneweg Ph.D., Archaeometrist, Archaeologist) The Technical University of Budapest (Marta Balla Ph.D., Geologist, Archaeologist) The Ecole Biblique (Jean-Baptiste Humbert Ph.D., Archaeologist) After hundreds of publications concerning the restoration and the textual exegesis of the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls, it seemed to us a logical step to study the Qumran storage jars, the cups, the dishes and other ceramic containers which have been unearthed at the Qumran Complex itself and in its surrounding caves in order to learn: * W H E R E * all these vessels were manufactured to establish the cultural interactions with peaple near to or remote from Qumran ? Of course, it will not be easy to receive an answer to the provenience of all the vessels--otherwise one has to analyze every piece of ceramic found.
The analytical procedure as well some of the results of this study have been recorded by the Discovery Channel on a Video casette of 52 minutes, entitled: Dead Sea Scrolls, Voices from the Desert by KBYU/Scandinature Films, USA Also the BBC made a documentary entitled The Secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls , by Kick Productions The second documentary made by the Discovery Channel--a follow-up--will be aired in the beginning of 2001 We have analyzed by NAA about 200 samples of various styles of vessels found at Qumran.

Andrews; and the British Academy THE CONFERENCE This conference gathered scholars from around the world to explore how the Dead Sea Scrolls contribute to our knowledge of the background of both rabbinic and noncanonical forms of Judaism, and of the origins and early development of Christianity.
Davila taught a course module on the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Divinity School of the University of St.

Codex: An Annotated Guide to the Study of the Dead Sea Scrolls
The Dead Sea Scrolls have generated more public interest than most subjects that interest scholars.
It is with this in mind that I produced this "Annotated Guide to the Dead Sea Scrolls." Among the many sensational books, there are many good solid works published on the scrolls; I will highlight some of them in this Guide..
This Guide highlights some of the best English resources for the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Part 2 focuses on Archaeology and Qumran, the Scrolls and the Hebrew Bible, and the Scrolls and Christianity, among other topics..
Texts & Translations There were almost 900 Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in and around Khirbet Qumran.
The remaining 670 scrolls are dubbed "non-biblical" in that they are not found in modern Bibles (around 300 of these non-biblical manuscripts are very fragmentary).
Most of the Dead Sea Scrolls were written in ancient Hebrew, some in Aramaic, and a few in Greek.
The Scrolls have been published in a variety of formats with different audiences in mind:.
Critical Editions Critical editions (which include reconstruction, transcriptions, as well as some commentary) are available for almost all of the Scrolls.
