Ashkar-Gilson Manuscript in the News

The RBMSCL's Ashkar-Gilson Manuscript is currently on display at Jerusalem's Israel Museum where it has been reunited with another fragment from the same 1,300-year-old scroll.

The story of the reunion of these two manuscripts, which contain portions of the Song of the Sea, was picked up on the AP wire. Here's a link to the article as it appeared in the Miami Herald.

This photo of the Ashkar-Gilson manuscript was taken with special lighting so that the writing on the aged manuscript could be seen.
