The fragments will be published with 42 adjoining photographs (including a four-page colour plate section). The publication of seven new fragments from the "Judean Desert" will supplement the "Discoveries in the Judaean Desert" series and update scholars on the full textual situation. Two of the new biblical fragments preserve substantial textual variants. The new Aramaic fragment demonstrates interesting linguistic forms. The book will include a 10 page essay by Martin Schoyen about how he tracked down and acquired "Judean Desert" fragments and artifacts from 1994, and another (15-20 pages) by Hanan Eshel on the present state of affairs with regard to "Judean Desert" fragments in private hands.
