The Dead Sea Scrolls were written on parchment made of processed animal hide known as vellum (approximately 85.5–90.5% of the scrolls), papyrus (estimated at 8–13% of the scrolls), and sheets of bronze composed of about 99% copper and 1% tin (approximately 1.5% of the scrolls).
The content of many scrolls has not yet been fully published. Some resources for more complete information on the scrolls are the book by Emanuel Tov, "Revised Lists of the Texts from the Judaean Desert" [1] for a complete list of all of the Dead Sea Scroll texts, as well as the online webpages for the Shrine of the Book [2] and the Leon Levy Collection, [3] both of which present photographs ...
Wadi Qumran Cave 11 was discovered in 1956 and yielded 21 texts of Dead Sea Scrolls, some of which were quite lengthy. The Temple Scroll, so called because more than half of it pertains to the construction of the Temple of Jerusalem, was found in Cave 11, and is by far the longest scroll. It is now 26.7 feet (8.15 m) long.

The Isaiah Scroll, designated 1QIsa a and also known as the Great Isaiah Scroll, is one of the seven Dead Sea Scrolls that were first discovered by Bedouin shepherds in 1946 from Qumran Cave 1. [1] The scroll is written in Hebrew and contains the entire Book of Isaiah from beginning to end, apart from a few small damaged portions. [2]
As opposed to 1QS, manuscript 4QS d (4Q258) has the word God written in paleo-Hebrew letters 𐤀𐤋 "ʾEl", as can be seen on an infrared picture at the Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Library. [1] In addition, 4QS d does not mention 'the Priests, the Sons of Zadok' as does 1QS. Finally, 4QS d and 4QS b read 'ha-rabbim' (the Congregation). [2]
