Description Great Isaiah Scroll.jpg |
English:
Photographic reproduction of the
Great Isaiah Scroll
, the best preserved of the biblical
scrolls
found at
Qumran
. It contains the entire
Book of Isaiah
in Hebrew, apart from some small damaged parts. This manuscript was probably written by a scribe of the Jewish sect of the
Essenes
around the second century BC. It is therefore over a thousand years older than the oldest
Masoretic
manuscripts.
