History of Research (1990s) -- Notes

In December 1990 Emanuel Tov (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) succeeded John Strugnell as editor-in-chief of the International Team (expanded to 55 members) and the DJD series. Emile Puech (Ecole Biblique) and Eugene Ulrich (Notre Dame University) were chosen as co-editors.

In the Fall 1991 the complete set of photographs of the scrolls was finally released, ending years of fight for free access to the yet unpublished manuscripts.

Following the 1991 Madrid Qumran Congress, the First Meeting of the International Organization for Qumran Studies was held in Paris, France (July 19-24, 1992). The international organization would meet every three years--in Cambridge, England (1995) and Oslo, Norway (2-4 August 2-4, 1998). Other important international Conferences on the Dead Sea Scrolls was held at the University of Manchester, England (August 28-31, 1994) and at the Brigham Young University, Provo, UT (July 15-17, 1996). In 1995 the Orion Center for the Study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Associated Literature was established as part of the Institute for Jewish Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and also launched a cycle of annual conferences in Israel (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999).

In the early 1990s Brill attempted to acquire the Revue de Qumran from Gabalda. When that project failed, Brill founded in 1994 a new specialized journal, Dead Sea Discoveries, which soon attracted major scholars in the field.

The publication of 4QMMT turned the Qumran halakhah into a major research issue.

In 1995 Norman Golb challenged the Qumran-Essene hypothesis, arguing that Qumran was a Jewish fortress and the Dead Sea Scrolls were the library of the Jerusalem Temple.

In 1997 the 50th anniversary of the Discovery of the Scrolls was celebrated internationally with a series of conferences and publications
