Muses,
We recently had a request for information about exhibit reviews and the
like. The following post from another list cites the URLs for a series of
reviews. The rest of the message may also be of general interest.

If you are in the Chicago area, you might be interested in the Sunday
lecture series, 12 March - 14 May 2000, East Roosevelt Rd. at Lake Shore
Drive. A schedule of speakers and topics is posted on our "Bulletin Board"
page (the Orion URL is in my sig, below).

Prof. Norman Golb has written about the Scrolls controversy with reference
to the Field Museum exhibit:

There was some discussion about the coins from this exhibit on the Orion
e-mail list: http://orion.mscc.huji.ac.il/orion/archives/20000401.txt

On a personal note-- A few weeks ago I accompanied a scholar from
Copenhagen to the Rockefeller Museum to see 4Q448, the text on King
Jonathan. We were so disappointed to discover that the IAA had wrapped the
texts in fine gauze in preparation for the exhibit. The gauze is not very
noticeable if you are a casual observer but it's a real hindrance when
you're trying to decide whether a mark in a photo is an ink blot or a
crack in the leather. In the end we gave up and called Ada Yardeni, the
scholar who published the original transcription, to ask her if she'd
worked from a photograph or the original. (My humble contribution to the
whole endeavour was looking up her phone number in the Jerusalem phone
book.)
