Matt Morgenstern gave a paper on the restoration work on the Genesis
Apocryphon at the First Orion International Symposium, Spring 1996, which
I was privileged to attend. The Orion site has the abstract, but
apparently not the whole paper. Morgenstern's listeners were eager to see
some of the findings, but he was rather coy about the contents and the
paper, given that his supervisor in the work was Elisha Qimron. Qimron at
that time was suing Hershel Shanks, Robert Eisenman, and others, for
copyright violation in publishing his transcription of 4QMMT, a suit he
won in Israeli courts.
So we didn't press Morgenstern for copies of the text or anything!
There is a publication by Morgenstern, which may be more closely related
than it sounds: "A New Clue to the Original Length of the Genesis
Apocryphon." Journal of Jewish Studies 47.2 (1996).
