The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of Jewish texts that were discovered between 1947 and 1956 in the vicinity of the Dead Sea. The scrolls were found in eleven caves near the site of Qumran, and are believed to have been written between the second century BCE and the first century CE. The scrolls consist of a variety of texts, including biblical texts, apocryphal and pseudepigraphical texts, sectarian documents, prayers, and legal documents. The manuscripts were written on parchment, papyrus, and other materials, and many were in a state of remarkable preservation. The texts provide important insights into the beliefs and practices of the Jewish community in the Second Temple period, as well as into the development of early Christianity.
