My colleague Torleif Elgvin and I just published a paper in which we discuss Dead Sea Scrolls forgeries in the Schøyen Collection.

In this paper, we offer a global assessment of all Dead Sea Scrolls in the Schøyen collection. Several fragments had already been excluded from the official volume, but we argue that there are more forgeries.

To find out, please read our paper, available on Peeter’s website or below.
