The official publication is J.T. Milik, Roland de Vaux and H.W. Baker, “Le rouleau de cuivre provenant de la grotte 3Q (3Q15),” in Les ‘Petites Grottes’ de QumrÆan, ed. Maurice Baillet, Milik and de Vaux, Discoveries in the Judaean Desert of Jordan 3 (Oxford: Clarendon, 1962), pp. 201–302; hereafter cited as DJD 3.
See the extremely negative review of Allegro’s book by Roland de Vaux, the chief archaeologist of Qumran and its caves, in Revue biblique 68 (1961), pp. 466–467.
See, for example, E. Ullendorff, “The Greek Letters of the Copper Scroll,” Vetus Testament 11 (1961), pp. 227–228.
The most vigorous spokesman for this position is Norman Golb. See Golb, “The Problem of the Origin and Identification of the Dead Sea Scrolls,” Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 124 (1980), pp. 1–24; “Who Hid the Dead Sea Scrolls?” Biblical Archaeologist 48 (1985), pp. 68–82.
As recognized by Manfred R. Lehmann (“Identification of the Copper Scroll Based on Its Technical Terms,” Revue de Qumran 6 (1964], pp. 97–105), who cites a Tosefta, Shevi’tt 7.3, 5 and 8.1.
An important exception is B.Z. Lurie, The Copper Scroll from the Judaean Desert, Publications of the Israel Bible Research Society 14 (Jerusalem: Kiryat-Sepher, 1963) (in Hebrew).
