Summary note
Presents a complete Hebrew transcription and English translation of the Dead Sea scroll Biblical texts, together with high-resolution images. The contents of this online publication is identical to that of the Dead Sea scrolls electronic library Biblical texts CD-ROM, published by Brill and Brigham Young University but its interface is adapted to Brill's online platform for reference works. The contents consists of 1. the Hebrew Biblical texts in the Dead Sea Scrolls; 2. an English translation, based not on individual fragments but on all extant fragments that form a particular Masoretic book (or part thereof); it is equally based on the Masoretic text for those parts that are missing in the Dead Sea Scrolls; 3. the Hebrew text from the oldest extant manuscript of the Masorah, the Codex Leningradensis. In addition, there are 1. a general introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls Biblical Texts; 2. an introduction to the translation, followed by further explanations and a bibliography; 3. a large inventory of pertinent information, such as photographs and provenance, for each fragment; 4. an index of manuscripts and an index of images.
Notes
The English translation of the biblical scrolls presents the text of the The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible by Martin Abegg, Jr., Peter Flint, and Eugene Ulrich.
