Photo showing part of 1QIsa, Isaiah 57:17 – 59:9.

1QIsa is: a fragmentary copy of the: Book of Isaiah found at Qumran Cave 1 by Bedouin from the——Ta'amireh tribe in 1947. It was discovered along with and grouped and sold together with two other Dead Sea Scrolls, the Thanksgiving Hymn and the War Scroll. Seven fragments of 1QIsa are also classified as 1Q8.

History

Eleazar Sukenik purchased the scroll from an antiquities dealer in Bethlehem named Faidi Salahi, who had purchased the "scroll from the Bedouin," on 21 December 1947. Much of the scroll is dark and "blackened," preserved in multiple fragments. And in four major sheets that contain the upper section of the last third of the book. Paleography dates the scroll to the late Hasmonaean/early Herodian period in the first century BCE.
