Regarding the requests for info on getting copies of the Dead Sea Scrolls:
The Jan/Feb issue of Biblical Archaeology Review, the publication of the same
BAS mentioned above, includes the following:

    The photographs of the texts of the unpublished Dead Sea
    Scrolls are now available from the Biblical Archaeology
    Society in a facsimile edition.  The publication consists
    of a two-volume set.  *A Facsimile Edition of the Dead
    Sea Scrolls*, prepared with an introduction and index by
    Robert H. Eisenman and James M. Robinson.  The set
    includes 1,787 photographic plates.
        The cost of the two-volume set is $195, plus $15
    shipping and handling.  Credit card orders may be placed
    by calling toll-free 1-800-221-4644.  Orders may also be
    placed by writing to the Biblical Archaeology Society,
    3000 Connecticut Ave., NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC
    20008.
        This edition has been printed in limited quantities;
    orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

And there you have it.  Hopefully, they still have copies:  at that
price, and considering the lack of widespread knowledge of Aramaic, they just
might.  Good luck.
