New and comprehensive electronic reference work on The Dead Sea
Scrolls
Prepared by the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies,
Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah
The Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) probably represent the most significant
manuscript discovery in recent history. These ancient texts have
revolutionized the field of biblical and Judaic studies, and they
have become an indispensable source for scholars and students
alike.
Although most of the texts have been published in some form or
other, scholars have now only begun to grasp the true meaning and
relevance of the scrolls for our understanding of ancient Judaism,
the transmission of the biblical texts, and the origins of
Christianity.
This new DSS CD-ROM is composed of a comprehensive, fully indexed,
and cross-linked collection of non-biblical DSS texts, both in
Hebrew and English translation, as well as a selection of
high-resolution digitized images of Dead Sea Scrolls fragments. In
addition, the CD-ROM contains relevant reference material for
scholarly work on The Dead Sea Scrolls and related literature.
Anyone using the CD-ROM will be able to access texts, images and
reference materials quickly and efficiently. The combination of a
powerful text search engine and sophisticated image-manipulating
software will enable scholars and students unparalleled research
possibilities.
The powerful search capabilities of the WordCruncher. software will
allow users to find any or all occurrences of words and phrases in
any or all texts. The software makes full accommodation of the
features of the Hebrew language, by allowing users to search for
Hebrew words according to their root forms.
