Who is the author of ancient texts that have been carefuly deciphered by living scholars? The Dead Sea Scrolls case exemplifies this question. The Israeli Supreme Court awarded copyright to the scholar, Professor Elisha Qimron. The decision (August 2000) portrays Qimron as the quintessential romantic author and does not shy away from admiring Qimrons work. In fact, it treats him in an almost religious way.
