Isaiah Among the Scrolls
In 2011, more than 60 years after the first seven dead Sea Scrolls were discovered by the Bedouin in what became known as Qumran Cave 1, a splendid new edition of the Great Isaiah Scroll--lQIsa, in more technical language--has been published in the official scroll series, Discoveries in the Judaean Desert. Purchased secretly by Israeli general Yigael Yadin in 1954, the Great Isaiah Scroll is now published by scholars Eugene Ulrich and Peter Flint in a fresh critical edition with stunning revitalized images. Shanks discusses what can be learned about the history and intriguing features of this most famous of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
