Dead Sea Scrolls
On the 8th November 2006 Facsimile Editions received an email from Dr Weston Fields, Director of the Dead Sea Scrolls Foundation in Jerusalem, asking if they would be willing to advise on the production of facsimiles of three of the most important scrolls found in 1947 in a cave on the shores of the Dead Sea. The Great Isaiah Scroll 1QIsa, the Manual of Discipline 1QS and the Habakkuk Commentary 1QpHab were some of the first and most complete scrolls to be found among the thousands of fragments in caves near Qumran and elsewhere along the Dead Sea during the following two decades.
