1950s

No Italian scholars were part of the team of specialists who worked with the newly found manuscripts, yet the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls generated much interest in Italy. Some of the earliest articles on the Scrolls were published in Italian by Milik and by Italian-Israeli scholar Umberto Cassuto. The Professors at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, notably, Pietro Boccaccio and Guido Berardi, were directly engaged in the publication of some of the first printed editions of the Scrolls. Catholic Biblical scholars, such as Angelo Penna and Giuseppe Ricciotti, offered original contributions to the study of the manuscripts. Milik wrote his book at the invitation of Giovanni Rinaldi in a double French-Italian edition.

Orientalist Sabatino Moscati offered in 1955 a detailed introduction to the Scrolls from an archaeological perspective. The scholarly works of Burrows and Allegro were translated into Italian and so was the book of journalist Edmund Wilson which also in Italy significantly contributed to popularize the results of the research in the field. After Cassuto the voice of Jewish scholarship is heard through the translation of the work of French Jewish Henry E. Del Medico and the first Hebrew-Italian edition of the Hodayot by Elio Piattelli.

1960s

The first collection of Dead Sea Scrolls in Italian was published by Luigi Michelini Tocci in 1967.

1970s

In 1971 Luigi Moraldi published what would be become for decades the standard edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls in Italian. Other important contributions appeared in Italian by Angelo Penna, Marcello Del Verme, Jan Alberto Soggin, and Angelo Vivian.

1980s

A second, enlarged and updated edition, of Moraldi's collection of the Dead Sea Scrolls appeared in 1986. It was followed in 1988 by the translation of Ernest-Marie Laperrousaz' work on the Essenes.

1990s

In 1996 Corrado Martone published a new, updated and more comprehensive edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls in Italian, based on the work of Florentino Garcia Martinez.

2000s

2010s

In 2011 the Associazione Biblica Italiana devoted a second conference to Qumran Studies, after the one held in 1995.

In 2013 Giovanni Ibba edited the first volume of a new Italian translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls based on the French edition by Katell Berthelot and others; see La biblioteca di Qumran = La bibliothèque de Qumrân (The Library of Qumran / 2013- @2008- Berthelot, Legrand, Paul / Ibba), edited volume (Italian ed.).
