This volume presents the collection of fragments thus far unrecorded which are contained in 40 Palestine Archaeological Museum photographs. Some of these fragments originate from previously unknown compositions, while others belong to known texts. This volume will enable scholars to make additional identifications and to link the fragments with other known scrolls.
This volume investigates the identification and classification of previously unrecorded textual fragments recovered from Cave 4 at Qumran. The authors, Andrew C. Skinner and Dana M. Pike, utilize high-resolution photographic evidence from the Palestine Archaeological Museum to categorize these remnants. By presenting these fragments in a scholarly format, the work provides a framework for researchers to cross-reference these pieces with established Dead Sea Scroll compositions and expand the current understanding of the Qumran corpus.
