Description:

Issued in conjunction with an exhibition organized by the Library of Congress, this catalog brings together 12 of the best-preserved and least-known Dead Sea Scrolls--in color photographs, Hebrew transcriptions, and English translations--as well as a hundred related artifacts excavated at Qumran, the nearby archaeological site whose inhabitants may have produced the scrolls. Interpretive essays provide the historical background of the scrolls as they explore the translated texts and the various theories about the Qumran community.
