Abstract: 

This article updates, improves and corrects the 2016 publication of Dead Sea Scrolls fragments and artefacts in The Schøyen Collection. A large number of the fragments then published are here classified as modern forgeries. The palaeographical discussion is sharpened and suggests that most of the suspicious fragments in the collection were penned by the same modern forger.
