1QIsab also known as the Hebrew University Isaiah Scroll is a fragmentary copy (75%) of theBook of Isaiah found atQumran Cave 1 byBedouin from theTa'amireh tribe in 1947.[1] It was discovered along with and grouped and sold together with two otherDead Sea Scrolls, theThanksgiving Hymn and theWar Scroll.[1] Seven fragments of 1QIsab are also classified as1Q8.[2] It would have been written between 100-50 BC on parchment made of sheep skin with the Square Hebrew Script.
Eleazar Sukenik purchased the scroll from an antiquities dealer inBethlehem named Faidi Salahi, who had purchased the scroll from the Bedouin, on 21 December 1947.[3] Much of the scroll is dark and blackened, preserved in multiple fragments, and in four major sheets that contain the upper section of the last third of the book.[3]Paleography dates the scroll to the lateHasmonaean or earlyHerodian period in the first century BCE.[3]
