This essential two-volume compilation is a practical reference tool to facilitate access to the Qumran collection of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It contains newly edited English translations of the nonbiblical scrolls, arranged by serial number from Cave 1 to Cave 11. In addition, it offers a summary of the contents of the biblical scrolls from Qumran. Each Q-number is provided with a heading that contains the important information on the text and selected bibliographical references. Although unidentified and unclassified fragments have been omitted, this study edition aims to be complete for the nonbiblical scrolls. The work is primarily intended for classroom use and for use by specialists from various disciplines who need a reliable compendium to all the materials found at Qumran.
