The Dead Sea Copper Scroll:From Ancient Temple Treasure to Modern Media Star

Professor George Brooke will give this illustrated talk and will engage with many fascinating aspects of the Copper Scroll from Qumran's Cave 3, from its opening in Manchester in 1955-1956 to current debates about its significance. Alongside consideration of how it has been understood, there will also be some discussion of how and why it has featured in so many novels and films.
