Professor J. T. Milik is responsible for the publication of more than 50 different Dead Sea Scroll documents which, after more than 30 years, remain unpublished and inaccessible to other scholars. The original documents are in the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem, but pursuant to scholarly convention, no one can examine them except Milik or someone who has Milik’s permission to do so. Unlike other scholars with extensive uncompleted scroll assignments, Milik has refused to reassign or subassign his extensive holdings to others. Below is a partial listing of Milik’s unpublished documents, which BAR obtained from a confidential American source. This list has never before been published. It may contain some inaccuracies, but we believe it to be substantially correct. The abbreviation “4Q” stands for Qumran Cave IV; “M” stands for Milik and is an early designation no longer used:
