Abstract

Although the first writings on the banks of the Dead Sea, known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, were first discovered in 1947, not all were made accessible to more than a handful of scholars; indeed, not even the subject matter of the writings were made known until 1992. This guarding of the material retarded (and preserved) the study of the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, so that today traces of the ancient world are still percolating through the hands of scholars to the general public.
