    I am looking for information on techniques for estimating the total size
    of a corpus based on data from incomplete but overlapping text
    fragments. This is for a project on the Dead Sea Scrolls.

    Please reply directly to me. If there is sufficient interest, I will
    summarize the results for the List.
