It is another valuable contribution to come out of the RCN funded project "'The Lying Pen of Scribes': Manuscript Forgeries, Digital Imaging, and Critical Provenance Research" - PI: @arsteinjustnes, @AgderUniversity @forskningsradet

[Michael B. Johnson @scrollsgeek]

Congrats to @MichaelDPress on his fantastic piece, "The Provenance of the 'Seiyal Collection.'" It is a well-organized and an exceptionally clear treatment of an often overlooked area in the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls. https://t.co/5zcbrdYR8q #deadseascrolls #provenance

Pleased to share that this paper will be appearing online soon!
The paper argues that some SP major expansions are not merely copying Pentateuchal material from elsewhere but reflect selective copying that addresses contradictions and tensions inherent in the copied material.

One of the highlights of attending the annual meeting of the @CSBSCom at McGill U this June was getting to see Eileen Schuller, my PhD supervisor, for the first time in-person since 2019. I know I'm a bit late for a conference post, but I didn't want to let this one pass by!

Thank you also to Elisa Uusimaki for editing this special issue. It is always a pleasure to contribute to DSD.

[Michael B. Johnson @scrollsgeek]

I'm happy to see "Wrapping Up 1QM" published in a special issue of Dead Sea Discoveries in honour of Eibert Tichelaar. https://t.co/TIsqIOTPyr My article began as a project using 3D modeling to reconstruct ancient scrolls at the Sherman Center for Digital Scholarship @macscds

[Michael B. Johnson @scrollsgeek]

We all owe much to Eibert Tigchelaar, who has always been so generous with his time and expertise in helping those of us in the early stages of our careers. Thank you to George Brooke and Hindy Najman for organizing this issue in his honour! #DeadSeaScrolls #Qumran
