Bible, Qumran, Dead Sea, scrolls, canonAbstract
The article deals with the issue of biblical manuscripts discovered in the 1940s and 1950s in the Judean Desert and the only Polish publication in Polish devoted entirely to this issue. The article contains information updating or supplementing this publication in four aspects: the problem of identifying biblical texts and compiling a list of them; the issue of the biblical canon; identification of textual families in biblical texts from the Judean Desert; an attempt to explain the textual families identified in these texts.
