CPART

Since its inception in 1997, the Center has been actively working on creating a comprehensive research tool for the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The first version of our Dead Sea Scrolls database was published in 1999. In 2006 Brill Academic Press published a new, completely revised version of this database under the continued editorship of Emanuel Tov. This version gives a more complete coverage of all of the published non-biblical DSS materials, including scrolls identified in 2004 and 2005. Anyone using the CD-ROM will be able to access texts, images, and reference materials quickly and efficiently. The combination of a powerful text search engine and sophisticated image-manipulating software will enable scholars and students unparalleled research possibilities. A major new feature is the addition of morphological analysis to all of the texts. This data gives glosses and part of speech analysis for each word in the database.
