The following is a '''[[list of the Dead Sea Scrolls]]''' from the [[Qumran Caves|cave 11]] near [[Qumran]].
==Description==
Wadi Qumran Cave 11 was discovered in 1956 and yielded 21 texts of [[Dead Sea Scrolls]], some of which were quite lengthy. The [[Temple Scroll]], so called because more than half of it pertains to the construction of the [[Temple of Jerusalem]], was found in Cave 11, and is by far the longest scroll. It is now 26.7 feet (8.15 m) long. Its original length may have been over 28 feet (8.75 m). [[Temple Scroll|The Temple Scroll]] was regarded by [[Yigael Yadin]] as "The Torah According to the Essenes". On the other hand, Hartmut Stegemann, a contemporary and friend of Yadin, believed the scroll was not to be regarded as such, but was a document without exceptional significance. Stegemann notes that it is not mentioned or cited in any known Essene writing.<ref>Stegemann, Hartmut. "The Qumran Essenes: Local Members of the Main Jewish Union in Late Second Temple Times." Pages 83–166 in ''The Madrid Qumran Congress: Proceedings of the International Congress on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Madrid, 18–21 March 1991'', Edited by J. Trebolle Barrera and L. Vegas Montaner. Vol. 11 of Studies on the Texts of the Desert of Judah. Leiden: Brill, 1992.</ref>
Found also in Cave 11 was the [[Paleo-Hebrew Leviticus scroll]], and an [[eschatology|eschatological]] fragment about the biblical figure [[Melchizedek]] ([[Melchizedek#In the Dead Sea Scroll 11Q13|11Q13]]). Cave 11 also produced a copy of [[Jubilees]].
According to former chief editor of the DSS editorial team [[John Strugnell]], there are at least four privately owned scrolls from Cave 11, that have not yet been made available for scholars. Among them is a complete [[Aramaic Enoch Scroll|Aramaic manuscript of the Book of Enoch]]·.<ref>{{cite web|last=Shanks |first=Hershel |url=http://www.bib-arch.org/online-exclusives/dead-sea-scrolls-12.asp |title=An Interview with John Strugnell |work=Biblical Archaeology Review |date=July–August 1994 |access-date=21 October 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100706065646/https://www.bib-arch.org/online-exclusives/dead-sea-scrolls-12.asp |archive-date=6 July 2010 |df=dmy }}</ref>

Information is not always comprehensive, as content for many scrolls has not yet been fully published.
