What are the legal rights to ancient documents of editors,
archaeologists, curators, or modern states? In the light of recent
controversies, this collection emphasizes the status of the Dead
Sea Scrolls. The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in Palestine,
recovered in Jordan, and largely edited by an international
Christian team who prevented public access to unpublished
manuscripts. Subsquently, the state of Israel, which had already
purchased many of the Scrolls, has assumed responsibility for all
of them. Most recently, one scroll editor has claimed copyright on
his reconstruction, instigating a lawsuit and introducing serious
implications for future Scrolls scholarship. This volume looks at
international copyright and property rights as they affect
archaeologists, editors and curators, but focuses on the issue of
'authorship' of the Scrolls, both published and unpublished, and
the contributors include legal experts as well as many of the major
figures in recent controversies, such as Hershel Shanks, John
Strugnell, Geza Vermes and Emanuel Tov.
