63Fanny K. Berg and Isaac Goldberg, The Dead Sea Scrolls: A Chronological Bibliography [Unpublished manuscript] (Cincinnati: HUC Library, 1949). 64After his death in 1985, HUC-JIR acquired Yadin’s personal library for its Jerusalem campus library. The collection included more than seven thousand books, many on the Dead Sea Scrolls and many containing Yadin’s marginal notes. See “HUC Gains Yadin’s Personal Library,” The American Israelite (3 July 1986): 1. 65Ross Parmenter, “World of Music: Dead Sea Scrolls Hint that Hebrew had an Early System of Notation,” The New York Times (6 January 1957): D9. Werner’s findings were published in “Musical Aspects of the Dead Sea Scrolls,” The Musical Quarterly 43, no.1 (1957): 21–37. 66The syllabus is preserved in MS 20/L5/15. The primary readings for the course included Millar Burrows’s two volumes, The Dead Sea Scrolls (New York: Viking, 1955) and More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls (New York: Viking, 1958); and Theodore Gaster’s The Dead Sea Scriptures (New York: Doubleday, 1956). 67See, for example, “Rule of the Community III,” Revue de Qumran 5, no.2 (1965): 239–243. 68See Michael A. Meyer, “The Refugee Scholars Project of the Hebrew Union College,” in A Bicentennial Festschrift for Jacob Rader Marcus, ed. Bertram Korn (New York: Ktav/American Jewish Historical Society, 1976), 359–375. 69See MS 513, Isaiah Sonne/2343b/Dead Sea Scrolls. 70James A. Sanders, Discoveries in the Judaean Desert of Jordan, IV. The Psalms Scroll of Qumrân Cave 11 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1965). A second expanded edition also appeared, The Dead Sea Psalms Scroll (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1967). Sanders’s contribution to scroll scholarship continued for the next four decades. In addition to his work on the Psalms Scroll, he published the first catalogues and indices to the scroll material in “Palestinian Manuscripts, 1947–1967,” JBL 86, no. 4 (1967): 431–440; and “Palestinian mss. 1947–1972,” Journal of Jewish Studies (JJS) 24, no. 1 (1973): 74–83. His work on the development of the biblical canon has also relied heavily on scroll research. See, for example, James A. Sanders, “The Judaean Desert Scrolls and the History of the Text of the Hebrew Bible,” in Caves of Enlightenment: Proceedings of the American Schools of Oriental Research Dead Sea Scrolls Jubilee Symposium (1947–1997), ed. James H. Charlesworth (North Richland Hills, TX: Bibal Press, 1998), 1–17; and “The Scrolls and the Canonical Process,” in The Dead Sea Scrolls after Fifty Years: A Comprehensive Assessment, Volume 2, ed. Peter W. Flint and James C. VanderKam (Leiden: Brill, 1999), 1–23. In 1977, Sanders founded the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center in Claremont, California. He remained director until his retirement in 1997. 71Email communication with James Sanders, 24 May 2008. 72The joint meeting of the Mid-West Sections of the AOS and the SBLE was held on 15 and 16 April 1949. Along with Sonne’s paper, David Noel Freedman spoke on “‘The House of Absalom’ in the Habakkuk Scroll.” A copy of the program is preserved in MS 20/J1-1/6, 1948–1955, AOS. For a brief overview of Sonne’s contribution to scroll scholarship, see also Lewis Barth, “Rabbinics,” in Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion at One Hundred Years, ed. Samuel Karff (Cincinnati: HUC Press, 1976), 345–346. 73Undated notes to prepare the talk included with his manuscript for the annual SBLE meeting in December 1949 are preserved in MS 513/2343b/Dead Sea Scrolls. 74Trever to Glueck, 21 December 1949, MS 20/J1-5/2, SBL. 75Rivkin to Orlinsky, 30 November 1949, Harry Orlinsky, HUC-JIR, Unprocessed Material/ Ellis Rivkin. 76From the text of Sonne’s presentation to the SBLE annual meeting preserved in MS 513/2343b/ Dead Sea Scrolls.

According to his report published more than a decade later, the archbishop offered Trever the scrolls at a meeting in New Jersey.
