Detailed analysis of the Dead Sea Scrolls has revealed a mysterious second author. While the subtle handwriting differences weren’t noticed with the naked eye, it was artificial intelligence that spotted them. Since the differences were so subtle, experts believe that the two scribes may have had similar training like attending the same school.
The scrolls were found in the late part of the 1940s in a cave in Qumran in the West Bank. Searches conducted over the following ten years revealed over 900 additional manuscripts in eleven different caves. Dating back to between the 4
th century BC and the 2
nd century AD, they are the oldest remaining texts from the Hebrew Bible.
EDMONTON The authors behind the Dead Sea Scrolls, famous for containing the oldest manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), have long eluded historians and scientists alike. But artificial intelligence technology has now unveiled two possible scribes. Researchers with the University of Groningen conducted palaeography – the study of old handwriting – tests on the longest text, known as the Great Isaiah Scroll. The process, which included several painstaking steps of digitization, machine reading and statistical analysis, revealed that two scribes with near-identical handwriting were likely responsible for writing two halves of the manuscript. The first sets of the scrolls were found 70 years ago in a cave near the Dead Sea in what is now the Israeli-occupied West Bank. They contain multiple manuscripts, written mostly in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, and are believed to date from about the third century BC.
