From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of the Dead Sea Scrolls from the cave 7 near Qumran.
Description
Wadi Qumran Cave 7 yielded fewer than 20 fragments of Greek documents, including 7Q2 (the "Letter of Jeremiah" = Baruch 6), 7Q5 (which became the subject of much speculation in later decades), and a Greek copy of a scroll of Enoch.[1][2][3] Cave 7 also produced several inscribed potsherds and jars.[4][5][6]
List of manuscripts
Some resources for more complete information on the Dead Sea Scrolls are the book by Emanuel Tov, "Revised Lists of the Texts from the Judaean Desert"[7] for a complete list of all of the Dead Sea Scroll texts, as well as the online webpages for the Shrine of the Book[8] and the Leon Levy Collection,[9] both of which present photographs and images of the scrolls and fragments themselves for closer study. Information is not always comprehensive, as content for many scrolls has not yet been fully published.
