Abstract:
The author offers some reflections on the Dead Sea Scrolls publication enterprise undertaken by the international team. In particular, he ponders the significance of the fact that the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert (DJD) series will soon be completed. He also discusses the use of the Scrolls in the DJD, concordances, and computer programs. Finally, attention is turned to issues that are directly related to the DJDvolumes: reconstruction of lost segments, the percentage and number of scrolls preserved, the sites where scrolls were discovered, the position of fragments in the caves, relationships between the contents of individual caves, and the relationships among multiple copies.
