1.1.3.4 From the Dead Sea Scrolls until Today

(67,355 words)

Author(s): Lange, Armin
Part of 1 History of Research - 1.1 Hebrew and Greek Texts in Judaism and Christianity - 1.1.3 Modern Times The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls revolutionized both the study of the Hebrew (I.1.2.2; I.1.2.3) and Greek texts of the biblical books (I.1.3.1.1; I.1.3.1.2).1 On the one hand, the Dead Sea Scrolls illuminated the textual plurality of the textual transmission of the biblical books before the closure of the Biblical canon (I.1.1.2; II.1.1.1) and on the other hand they allowed for new insights into the textual history of their Greek translations. The finding …

[English Version] Unter dem Begriff Q. bzw. Qumrantexte werden in der dt. Forschung mißverständlicherweise jene Textfunde subsumiert, die im Engl. als Dead Sea Scrolls und im Neuhebr. als megilot midbar jehudah bez. werden. Die fraglichen Hsn. wurden am Toten Meer in Ketef Jericho, Qumran, Khirbet Mird, Wadi en-Nar, Wadi Ghweir, Wadi Murabbaʿat, Wadi Sdeir, Naḥal Ḥever, Naḥal Mishmar, Naḥal Ṣeʿelim, auf der Masada und in dem zw.

Sektenregel

Author(s): Lange, Armin
[English Version] I.  GattungAls (Gemeinde-)Regel (særæk; rule) werden Werke unterschiedlichen Charakters bez., die sich mit der rel. Regulierung von existenten (z.B. die Essener [s.a. Qumran]; z.B. S und D) oder eschatologisch erhofften (das Heer der Söhne des Lichts; z.B. M) Gemeinschaften beschäftigen. Der Begriff særæk wurde dem Titel der Hs. 1QS entnommen und erst in der Neuzeit auf ein breites Spektrum verschiedener rel. Regelwerke übertragen. Bei den Essenern wurden solche rel. Regelwerke auch als Midrash bez. (s. 4QS b 5 1; 4QS d 1 I 1; 4QD e 11 II 15 [4QD a 18 V 20]), was…

Tempelrolle

Author(s): Lange, Armin
[English Version] . I.Handschriften und Einfluß in Qumran. Von der T sind drei Handschriften erhalten: 4QT (4Q524), 11QT a.b (11Q19.20). Die Zuordnung von 11Q21 (11QT c) ist unsicher. Paläographie und Bruchstrukturen weisen 4Q365a (4QT?) der Hs. 4Q365 (4QRP c) zu. 11QT a ist mit Resten von 66 Kolumnen (= 8,148 m von urspr. ca.9 m) die am besten erhaltene Rolle. Als älteste erhaltene Hs. wird 4QT paläographisch 150–125 v.Chr. datiert (Puech 87f.). Der Text der T-Hsn. ist bei kleineren Abweichungen weitgehend identisch. Die Reparatur in 11QT a I–IV könnte eine bes. Wertsc…

Qumran

Author(s): Lange, Armin
[German Version] The term Dead Sea Scrolls (Ger. somewhat misleadingly Qumrantexte; modern Heb. megilot midbar yehudah) is a collective term for the manuscripts discovered near the Dead Sea at Ketef Jericho, Qumran, Khirbet Mird, ¶ Wadi en-Nar, Wadi Ghweir, Wadi Murabbaʿat, Wadi Sdeir, Na al Ḥever, Na al Mishmar, Na al Ṣeʿelim, Masada, and in the Wadi ed-Daliyeh between Samaria and Jericho. A complete list of all the texts can be found in E. Tov et al., eds., The Texts from the Judaean Desert (DJD 39, 2002). This article deals with the individual sites and their manusc…

Temple Scroll

(877 words)

Author(s): Lange, Armin
[German Version] I. Manuscripts and Influence at Qumran Three manuscripts of the Temple Scroll have survived: 4QT (4Q524), 11QTa, b (11Q19 and 11Q20). The assignment of 11Q21 (11QTc) to the Temple Scroll is uncertain. Paleography and damage patterns link 4Q365a (4QT?) to the manuscript 4Q365 (4QRPc). The manuscript 11QTa, with remnants of 66 columns (8.148 meters out of what was originally about 9 meters), is the best preserved. The earliest surviving manuscript, 4QT, can be dated paleographically to the period between 150 and 125 bce (Puech, 87f.). With minor variations, the t…

Qumran Sectarian Rules

(905 words)

Author(s): Lange, Armin
[German Version] I. Genre The title Sectarian Rule or Community Rule ( serek) has been given to works of various types that deal with the religious regulation of actual communities (e.g. the Essenes [see also Qumran], e.g. S and D) or eschatological communities (the army of the Sons of Light, e.g. SM). The term serek is taken from the title of manuscript 1QS; only recently has it been applied to a broad spectrum of different religious rules. The Essenes also referred to such rules as midrash (4QSb 5 1; 4QSd 1 I 1; 4QDe 11 II 15; [4QDa 18 V 20]), making clear the “exegetical” character of t…

Qumran

Author(s): Lange, Armin (Vienna)
This item can be found on the following maps: Dead Sea (textual finds) [German version] I. History of finds The settlement of Q. on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, c. 20 km southeast of Jerusalem, receives its name from Wādī Q., at the end of which it lies. After Bedouins discovered the first scrolls in nearby caves in 1947, the settlement of Q. itself was excavated in a total of five campaigns, 1951-1956 [11; 28; 29; 30; 31], and digs and surveys have been carried out very recently [5; 18; 24; 26]. The Ḫirbat Q. site es…

Essenes

(2,454 words)

Author(s): Lange, Armin (Vienna)
[German version] A. Etymology The name E. (Ἐσσηνοί, Ἐσσαῖοι; Essēnoí, Essaîoi) was probably applied by outsiders to the community that it describes. It represents an attempt to render in Greek the Aramaic ḥasayya ( ḥsyh is Qumranic, now attested in the non-Essene Aramaic Levi Document: wl mtmḥ šm ḥsyh mn kwl mh llm, ‘and the name of the devout will not be extinguished in eternity’; 4 Q 213a 3-4 6). The Hebrew ḥāsı̂d that has the same meaning as the Aramaic ḥasayya is also found, as part of a place-descriptor of the settlement of Qumran that had at that time been destr…

Fundgeschichte Die am NW-Ufer des Toten Meers, ca. 20 km südöstl. von Jerusalem gelegene Siedlung von Q. erhielt ihren Namen vom Wādī Q., an dessen Ende sie liegt. Nachdem Beduinen 1947 in nahegelegenen Höhlen die ersten Schriftrollen entdeckten, wurde in den J. 1951-1956 [11; 28; 29; 30; 31] in insgesamt fünf Kampagnen die Siedlung von Q. selbst ausgegraben. Bis in die jüngste Zeit wurden Nachgrabungen und Surveys vo…

Author(s): Lange, Armin (Tübingen)
[English version] A. Etymologie Der Name E. (Ἐσσηνοί, Ἐσσαῖοι) wurde der so bezeichneten Gemeinschaft wohl von Außenstehenden gegeben. Sie stellt die griech. Wiedergabe des aram. ḥasayya dar ( ḥsyh ist qumranisch jetzt in dem nichtessenischen Aramaic Levi Document belegt: wl mtmḥ šm ḥsyh mn kwl mh llm, ‘und der Name der Frommen wird nicht ausgelöscht werden in Ewigkeit’; 4 Q 213a 3-4 6). Das zu aram. ḥasayya bedeutungsäquivalente hebr. ḥāsı̂d findet sich als Teil einer Ortsbezeichnung der damals schon zerstörten Siedlung von Qumran auch in einem auf 134/5 …

1.1.2.2.3 Excursus: The Hebrew Text in the Bibles of the Carolingian Renaissance

(2,260 words)

Author(s): Fuller, Russell E. | Lange, Armin
Part of 1 History of Research - 1.1 Hebrew and Greek Texts in Judaism and Christianity - 1.1.2 Medieval Times - 1.1.2.2 Christian Scholarship In medieval times, Christians relied for the Hebrew text of the Bible, mainly on the works of Origen and Jerome but did not study it textcritically themselves. Despite occasional Christian interest in the Hebrew language as e.g. illustrated by Isidore of Seville’s Etymologies,1 by Bede,2 and by Roger Bacon,3 only very few Christians were able to read Hebrew texts.4 The diverse textual transmission of the Vulgate (I.1.3.5; 1.2.1) motivated Chris…

Wisdom Literature

(4,476 words)

Author(s): Hutter, Manfred | Lange, Armin | Lips, Hermann v. | Bagordo, Andreas
[German Version] I. Religious Studies Words for wisdom display a great range of meanings, which need to be taken into account in discussing Wisdom literature. Etymologically the words wise and wisdom ¶ (also Ger. Wissen, “knowledge”) derive from the Proto-Indo-European root * weid- (cf. Sanskrit vid- with its derivatives veda, “[religious] knowledge,” and vidya, “knowledge”; also Lat. videre, “see”). Gk γνῶσις/ gnṓsis, “knowledge” (including the technical term Gnosis), Sanskrit jñāna-, “knowledge,” and Eng. know have a common verbal root * jen( ə)-. Equivalents to the Heb. verb םכ…
