Opis

The Dead Sea Scrolls, a collection of 972 documents discovered between 1946 and 1956 are of immeasurable religious and historical significance. They include the oldest known surviving copies of Biblical-era documents. The manuscripts shed considerable light on forms of Judaism never known before. This book is a record of this great scholarly find.
