The Colours of the Dead Sea Fragments Database

About the Project

The Lying Pen of Scribes research project represents a new interdisciplinary and holistic approach to the Dead Sea Scrolls and seeks to create a more comprehensive dataset. Its main objective is to produce a comprehensive resource of data, methods, and procedures for the interdisciplinary analysis of Dead Sea Scrolls manuscripts and fragments through a combination of physical analyses, digital imaging, machine learning, the study of scribal practices, critical provenance research, and an exploration of media that shaped the narratives about the world’s most famous manuscript find.
