Reading-access inquiry: Genesis Apocryphon, Damascus Document and Dead Sea Scrolls
Hello,
I’m writing on behalf of Babylon Learning Centre (learn.babylonencyclopedia.com), an independent comparative-text learning project. We are checking exact editions for source-linked study guides.
We are seeking Daniel A. Machiela’s The Dead Sea Genesis Apocryphon: A New Text and Translation with Introduction and Special Treatment of Columns 13–17 (2009; eBook ISBN 9789047443018), and Ben Zion Wacholder’s The New Damascus Document (2007; ISBN 9789004141087).
We also welcome a recommendation for a current English Dead Sea Scrolls edition that clearly identifies 1QM, CD and Qumran witnesses, with manuscript gaps and editorial reconstructions distinguished. Please advise the scope of coverage rather than assuming any one volume contains every fragment.
Could you advise the lawful full-text reading options, including library access or any research/review access for which the project might be eligible? If purchase is required, please provide options and a quote only. This inquiry does not authorize an order or charges. We are seeking reading access and bibliographical accuracy, not permission to republish copyrighted full texts. Please direct us to the appropriate colleague if needed.
Thank you,Babylon Learning Centre

Re: Reading-access inquiry: Genesis Apocryphon, Damascus Document and Dead Sea Scrolls
Dear Sales Operations team,
Thank you for offering to route our enquiry. Before supplying a postal address or seeking an institutional licence, could you direct an independent research project to self-service reading options or explain the minimum location information needed for routing?
The two titles are Daniel A. Machiela, The Dead Sea Genesis Apocryphon (2009; eBook ISBN 9789047443018), and Ben Zion Wacholder, The New Damascus Document (2007; ISBN 9789004141087).
We would welcome existing library-access routes, individual reading formats or a quotation only. Please distinguish:
- licensed reading access from a downloadable study copy;
- a single researcher's use from storage in a staff-only shared research database;
- either of those uses from public redistribution, which we are not requesting through a reading-access purchase.
If a full postal address is necessary even to provide these options, please explain why and which fields are required. We will arrange any necessary details separately.
This is an information request. No purchase, subscription, licence acceptance, reproduction order or other charge is authorized. We will not reproduce private correspondence automatically.
Thank you,
Babylon Learning Centre
