Hope this is not TOO far off-topic:
 
The thought occurred to me: Qumran finds have aroused considerable interest and 
even speculation among non-specialists. The same happened with cuneiform finds 
a goodish half-century earlier (Bibel-Babel controversy and all that). But how 
about the pseudepigrapha? Many (all?) of these were unknown to western 
scholarship, and certainly to the public, until some time in the 19th century. 
What was the reaction to their eventual publication? Has anything been written 
on their "reception history" in modern culture and scholarship?
