Over 30 fragments purportedly from the Dead Sea Scrolls belonging to two private collections were published for the first time in Summer 2016. Virtually all of these fragments in The Schoyen Collection and Museum of the Bible are non-provenanced apart from verbal guarantees made by their sellers. An unusual feature of these fragments is that almost all of them correspond to texts from the Hebrew Bible, but also to a few previously known compositions from antiquity. This paper examines the published fragments from both collections according to their observable physical properties, as well as palaeographical and scribal characteristics, and seeks to understand from these more about their potential origin—whether from antiquity or modern times.

争议之穴

2016 年夏季首次出版了据称属于两个私人收藏的死海古卷的 30 多个碎片。几乎所有这些碎片在 The Schoyen Collection 和 Museum of the Bible 中都没有出处，除了卖家的口头保证. 这些片段的一个不同寻常的特征是，几乎所有这些片段都对应于希伯来圣经中的文本，但也对应于一些先前已知的古代作品。本文根据可观察到的物理特性以及古文字和抄写特征检查了这两个收藏中已发表的片段，并试图从这些片段中更多地了解它们的潜在来源——无论是古代还是现代。
