Dead Sea Scrolls Electronic Library Non-Biblical Texts

NOW ONLINE FROM BRILL:
Dead Sea Scrolls Electronic Library Non-Biblical Texts

Editor: Emanuel Tov. Technical advisor: Ariel Tov
The Dead Sea Scrolls represents perhaps the most significant historical manuscript discovery in recent history. Brill’s Electronic Library offers a unique opportunity to study state of the art photographs of these ancient scripts, and understand their meaning using the translations of text and interpretations for missing fragments, all accessible using Brill’s simple navigation system. For the first time, the texts and images of all the Dead Sea Scrolls are available online.

Brill is offering the complete collection in two online products that can be bought separately: Dead Sea Scrolls Electronic Library Biblical Texts (ed. Donald W. Parry and Andrew C. Skinner, 2015) and, from June 2016, Dead Sea Scrolls Electronic Library Non-Biblical Texts (ed. Emanuel Tov, 2016). Used side by side, these databases will offer the user access to all the Dead Sea Scrolls texts.

This reference work is an indispensable tool for all biblical scholars and graduate students, theologians, Bible translators, those interested in the history and development of the Bible, the Second Temple period and the origins of Christianity, and seminary and research libraries.
The electronic Biblical Texts database was noted here and its online launch was noted here.
