Although many scholars associate the scroll with the Essene community, some doubt it was a real treasure, e.g., Jozef T. Milik, “The Copper Document from Cave III, Qumran,” The Biblical Archaeologist 19.3 (1956), pp. 60-64. For further, see Stephen Goranson, “Sectarianism, Geography and the Copper Scroll,” Journal of Jewish Studies 43 (1992), pp. 282-287; Al Wolters, “Literary Analysis and the Copper Scroll,” in Z.J. Kapera, ed., Intertestamental Essays in Honour of Jozef Tadeusz Milik (Krakόw: Enigma Press, 1992), pp. 239-252; Bargil Pixner, “Unravelling the Copper Scroll Case: A Study on the Topography of 3Q15,” Revue de Qumran 11 (1983), pp. 323-366; Émile Puech, The Copper Scroll Revisited (Leiden: Brill, 2015), pp. 1-17.
