Dead Sea Scrolls Internet Links Index

Recently most of the Dead Sea Scrolls have been published online in high resolution photographs at http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/ and http://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/. I have created a resource to integrate all of these images into Logos, so that you can read along with the original images.

An explanation and demo video of the resource is available here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3lU0ZJ4n1M

Note that when you import it into Logos there will be some warnings and errors, but those can be safely ignored.

Enjoy!

Thank you for all your work.

The file compiled fine, only 2 errors.

The video is very informative, well done!

DMB and HansK - Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad it is helpful.

Hello Logos folks!!

Give this brother a big hug for his work!

Looking at strange almost indecipherable letters, even in high definition, probably isn't something for too many people, and that, I guess, is not necessarily a bad thing. [H][8-|][B]

I like the strange indecipherable letters, especially chatting with others that get a bit too wound up with the more modern variety, and begin to think the whole Biblical account is infused with a major dose of imagination.

People zoom along in Isaiah, and don't think hard about the slowness of writing those simple letters or copying more ancient ones for continued use. 'Driven'.

Again thank you, Fr Devin.

Being a bit obnoxiously excited on this, but the DOCX links to your DSS Scrolls in Logos (of course ... thank you Fr Deven!).

You just click on the link to literally view the fragments, as you're studying.

Just unbelievable.

Thank you very much!

Logos should make this an official resource.

fgh

Thank you.

I added the web links to the Web Resources Reading List, since they seemed to be missing there.

For those who haven't seen this yet, the Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Library has been significantly upgraded, adding about 10,000 more images. Here are the details: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/04/israel-dead-sea-scrolls-digital-archive.

As far as I can tell, the Index continues to work, and in fact works better than before. While before there were numerous links that opened up a webpage that was awaiting future uploads of images, now it seems that most (or maybe all?) of those pages now have images.

I'm not sure if there are completely new pages that are not yet included in the Index... I'll have to try to find a time to look over it a little in the next month or so. If anyone finds any please let me know.

Thanks, Anthony. Good catch. I have fixed it. Here is v1.42 (unfortunately I can't edit the original post - anyone from Faithlife who can give me that permission?).

Thank you so much for this wonderful work. My class has the Biblical Languages Package, including the DSS transcriptions and translations so I shall have them compile this personal book to give an extra dimension to their studies,

Devin,

I found that the QSM links didn't work. I think this has to do with the recent (past year or so) updating of the QSM files where the ms references no longer start with 0:0. I did a find and replace on all references to 0:0 and the links work now.

If you look at this and think it is not better let me know and I'll remove it so people don't download the wrong version.

Fr Devin Roza

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/699952#Comment_699952

Thanks a lot, Brian. I really appreciate it! [Y]

I updated the version number to 1.43, and changed the file on the first post as well!

Fr Devin Roza

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/699962#Comment_699962

BTW, Brian, I just saw your fantastic blog. Congrats - it's really good - and I look forward to the rest of your DSS software review, whenever you are able to get around to it.

Hi All..

What "Type" do you use when you built this? Cross References Indexed?

Thanks!

Fr Devin Roza

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/764979#Comment_764979

I've always just classified it as "Ancient Manuscript."

I doubt classifying it as Cross-Reference Index would bring any advantages, as the references are to Internet link locations, but if there is anyone who knows the contrary to be true please share!

How do I download this, so I can use it with Logos?

The links and a video explanation are in the first post. You need to import it into Logos as a "personal book."

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/462966#Comment_462966

Thank you very much!

Logos should make this an official resource.

Yes! Amazing time saver! If Logos were to make it official and charge for it, Father Roza should get big royalties

MJ. Smith

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/1278644#Comment_1278644

Yes, $5 for the links, $3.5 of which goes to Father Roza himself.

Huh??? The file is free and the links work without paying a fee. Why are you posting disinformation rather than thanking him?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/1278646#Comment_1278646

Well thanks for pointing that out. My comment appeared totally out of context, so I can't blame you for taking it out of context [:D] I've now edited it. Apparently when "replying" I also had to insert the quote for it to show up. No disinformation here... just misleading remarks :P Hopefully that's now corrected.

This is an amazing effort from Fr Devin Roza. I know the original -- and even the updated -- documents are a bit dated, and the sites the links go to have evolved a bit.

For example, I noticed several of this links to https://www.deadseascrolls.org.il have a slightly different nomenclature now, and I'm not exactly sure how to fix it in general. For example, the following link:

https://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/explore-the-archive/manuscript/1Q-6-1

should go, I think, here:

https://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/explore-the-archive/manuscript/1Q6-1

However, I'm not sure if doing a global replace to remove the offending hyphen would break other things. If someone has some insight into this, please share; I would be grateful.

This is really funny - thanks hc and MJ! [:)] I'd love it if Faithlife decided to published the DSSIndex and make it an official resource. Maybe someday!

Thanks for pointing this out. I fixed the hyperlinks with Q- in them, and updated the file in the first post to v1.44. Hopefully that got all of them.

If you find any other broken links feel free to let me know and I'll try to update the file.
