Select Bibliography of the Dead Sea Scrolls

The amount of literature being produced on the Dead Sea Scrolls has increased considerably in the last decade. This bibliography only highlights a select portion of the books, articles, and essays published. For texts, translations, introductory works, and more, see my Annotated Guide to the DSS.

Some good bibliographic resources for the study of the Scrolls, as well as comprehensive bibliographies, include the following:

  • Joseph A. Fitzmyer, A Guide to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature (Eerdmans, 2008). This is more of an annotated bibliography to scrolls research, than an introduction, though it is indespensible for anyone wanting to delve into the scrolls. Buy from Amazon.ca | Buy from Amazon.com
  • Avital Pinnick, The Orion Center Bibliography of the Dead Sea Scrolls (1995-2000) (Brill, 2001). The fourth — and most recent — official Scrolls bibliography. Buy from Amazon.ca | Buy from Amazon.com
  • BHSF. García Martínez and D. W. Parry, A Bibliography of the Finds in the Desert of Judah, 1970-1995 (Brill, 2001). The third official Scrolls bibliography. All entries are alphabetically listed, provided with an identification number, and systematically classified by topics and key words as well as by manuscripts numbers and titles. Buy from Amazon.ca | Buy from Amazon.com
  • B. Jongeling, A Classified Bibliography of the Finds in the Desert of Judah, 1958-1969 (Reprint; Brill, 1997). The second official Scrolls bibliography. Buy from Amazon.ca | Buy from Amazon.com
