The Israel Antiquities Authority and the Dead Sea Scrolls
摘要
The role of the Israel Antiquities Authority in the preservation and study of the Dead Sea Scrolls is the subject of this chapter. The areas discussed represent an opportunity to consider the role of technology in the decipherment of 2000-year-old manuscripts that are most often highly fragmentary and in varying stages of deterioration, the conservation of the fragile scrolls, and creating access for scholarly study and public engagement. The chapter underscores the ever-growing importance of the role of Digital Humanities as a tool for the humanistic study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Antiquity.
