Reader's note

A fascinating 1957 edition of The Dead Sea Scrolls by J. M. Allegro! This is the story of the manuscript discoveries and their momentous significance for students of the Bible. In the early summer of 1947 an Arab shepherd stumbled upon a cave near the Dead Sea containing seven ancient scrolls. They proved to be part of the library of a Jewish monastic community living before and during the time of Christ. Later discoveries produced the remains of hundreds more scrolls from the same source, so that to-day we have an undreamt-of insight into Jewish sectarianism of this all-important period.
