Abstract

The writings of Josephus are a key source in discussions about the Essenes and the Dead Sea Scrolls for a number of related reasons ( Beall, 1988 , p. 2). Josephus is a direct contemporary of the later part of the history of the settlement at Qumran; as a native of Jerusalem he is well connected with public life in the city and its environs; and, in the context of writing about life in Judea he provides several explicit references to the
Essenes. What makes his information especially attractive to the modern reader is that he claimed to have direct, personal knowledge of the Essenes.
