The manuscripts were in Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic and Greek. The paleographical date of the texts ranged from c.250 BCE to the 11th century CE.[4] Most volumes are written in English; a few volumes are in French. The volumes also covers analyses of archaeological data and archaeological missions.[3] Volume 39 provides an introduction for, and summaries of, the preceding 38 volumes.[3][4]

Publication history

[edit]

First wave of publication - Roland de Vaux, P. Benoit O.P

[edit]

The first wave of publication took place between 1955 and 1982. In this period material from the findings at Qumran was published over seven volumes.[5] Editor-in-chief of the first five volumes was Roland de Vaux. The first work to appear was the 1955 release of Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 1: Qumran Cave 1, edited by D. Barthélémy and Józef Milik, with contributions by R. de Vaux, G. M. Crowfoot, H. J. Plenderleith, and G. L. Harding. The publication was overseen by the Jordan Department of Antiquities, École Biblique et Archéologique Française and Palestine Archaeological Museum. The volume contained fragments of Biblical and Apocryphal books, as well as fragments of text from the Qumran collective such as the Rule of the Community, the Rule of the Congregation, the Collections of Blessings, the Warfare Scroll and the Songs of Thanksgiving.[6][7][8] 1961 saw the publication of Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 2: Les grottes de Murabba ât, edited by J. T. Milik, and R. de Vaux. The volume documented the activities of rebel leader Simon bar Kochba. The volume also established that Mishnaic Hebrew was "the language of the people of Judaea during the Persian and Greco-Roman period".[9]

In the period from 1962 to 1968 the series (spanning vols. 3–4) was, for a limited time, published under the name Discoveries in the Judaean Desert of Jordan.[3]1962 saw the publication of Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 3: Les ‘petites grottes’ de Qumrân, edited by Maurice Baillet, J. T. Milik, and Roland de Vaux. The volume covered the relationship between manuscripts and pottery, apocryphal and non-biblical texts, and the Copper Scroll. Biblical texts included fragments of Exodus and Kings. Non-Biblical texts included a description of the New Jerusalem and a reworking of the Ezekiel-material. The volume described the cutting of the Copper Scroll and suggested a non-Essene authorship for the scroll.[10][11][12] 1965 saw the publication of Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 4: The Psalms Scroll of Qumrân Cave 11 (11QPsa), edited by James A. Sanders. The scroll was unrolled in November 1961, and Sanders presented his manuscript in December 1962. The volume uncovered two types of psalms, canonical and apocryphal. Apocryphal psalms included A Plea for Deliverance, Apostrophe to Zion, Hymn to the Creator, and a small text called David's Composition.[13][14][15][16] 1968 saw the publication of Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 5: Qumrân Cave 4.I (4Q158–4Q186), edited by John M. Allegro with A.A. Anderson. The volume included manuscripts from Qumran cave 4. Among the works were commentaries (pesher texts), a biblical paraphrase, a Florilegium, Testimonia, Catenae (2), Tanhumim, lamentations, and a text titled The Ages of Creation. There were also commentaries on old testament books, such as Isaiah, Hosea, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah and Psalms.[17][18][19][20] In this period de Vaux was replaced by P. Benoit O.P, who oversaw volumes 6 and 7.[3]

Volume 6 appeared in 1977 and was titled Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 6: Qumrân grotte 4.II: I. Archéologie, II. Tefillin, Mezuzot et Targums (4Q128–4Q157), edited by J.T. Milik. The volume included fragments of biblical texts. The manuscripts had originally been recovered by local tribes, but were offered for sale and bought.[21] 1982 saw the publication of Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 7: Qumrân grotte 4.III (4Q482–4Q520), edited by Maurice Baillet. Baillet was originally not a member of the Cave 4 team, but after joining became known as the "small-fragments expert". The volume consisted of more than 2000 fragments of text. Among the documents uncovered were fragments from the War Scroll and liturgical documents. Among the liturgical titles was Paroles des luminaires, prayers for festivals, Cantiques du Sage, and Prieres quotidiennes. Prieres quotidiennes was a text that revealed the timing of evening and morning prayers.[22]

Interim period - Controversy

[edit]

This period marked the entrance of Eugene Ulrich. Important editorial work on the biblical scrolls were carried out by Ulrich, who, for a number of years, assumed special responsibility for this task.[23] From 1985, and onwards, Ulrich functioned as chief editor of all the biblical texts from cave 4.[3] In 1985-86 Emanuel Tov and Robert Kraft introduced computerized technology to the DJD-series. The forthcoming Volume 8 was prepared electronically.[24]

Benoit's term as Editor-in-chief ended in 1986.[3] He was replaced by John Strugnell of Harvard Divinity School, who assumed the task of Editor-in-chief as of volume 8.[5][3][1] Volume 8 appeared in 1990 and was titled Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 8: The Greek Minor Prophets Scroll from Nah al H ever (8H evXIIgr), edited by R.A Kraft. The volume included the Dead Sea Scroll of the Minor Prophets; Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Zecharia.[25] Towards the end of his editorship Strugnell made efforts to enlarge the international team of scholars.[24]

Towards the end of the 1980s, and start of the 1990s, there was some controversy, in the international academic community, surrounding the slow pace of publication. Only eight volumes were published in the period 1955–1990, and it attracted criticism from several commentators.[5][26][24][3][1][27] A few explanations for the delay in publication were given. Contributing factors included the lack of funding and scholarly resources.[3]

Reorganization - New international team

[edit]

Soon after this period of controversy, Dr. Emanuel Tov, of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, took over as editor in chief.[2] Under the editorship of Tov, in the early 1990s, the international publishing team was reorganized and enlarged. The reorganization involved support from the Israel Antiquities Authority.[3] During the peak of the publication project, in the 1990s, the international team consisted of ninety-eight scholars.[3] In the ten years leading up to 2001 Dr. Tov and his team issued 28 volumes.[2]

1992 saw the release of Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 9: Qumran Cave 4.IV: Palaeo-Hebrew and Greek Biblical Manuscripts, edited by W. Skehan, E. Ulrich, and J. E. Sanderson. The volume included biblical manuscripts in Paleo-Hebrew and Greek. It was the first official publication of biblical scrolls from cave 4.[28][29][30]

1994 saw the release of 3 volumes. Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 10: Qumran Cave 4, V. Miqṣat Ma῾ase ha-Torah, edited by Elisha Qimron and John Strugnell, included a calendar of Sabbaths and holidays, issues of legal interpretation, and a final hortatory section. The manuscript does, according to the editors, throw light upon late Second Temple Judaism.[31][32][33] Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 12: Qumran Cave 4.VII: Genesis to Numbers, edited by E. Ulrich, F. M. Cross, and others, contained the first 4 books of the Pentateuch, and marked the start of the publication of scrolls written in Hebrew. It also included 4QExod–Levf, one of the oldest manuscripts of the Qumran findings. The volume also presented the conflicting views of editor Emanuel Tov, who proposed a local-text theory, and editor Frank Moore Cross, who proposed a multiple-text theory.[34][35][36][37]Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 13: Qumran Cave 4.VIII: Parabiblical Texts, Part 1, edited by H. Attridge and others, included fragments of Jubilees; Reworked Pentateuch; Prayer of Enosh; ParaKings; Paraphrase of Genesis and Exodus.[36][38] The foreword of Volume 13 announced changes in the publishing plan. Volumes were now to be published according their literary genre.

1995 saw the release of two volumes. Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 14: Qumran Cave 4.IX: Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Kings, edited by E. Ulrich, Frank Moore Cross, and others, included fragments of Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, and Kings. The Qumran texts established a few minor readings that differed from the Masoretic text.[39][40] Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 19: Qumran Cave 4.XIV, Parabiblical Texts, Part 2, edited by M. Broshi and others, in consultation with James VanderKam, included fragmentary parabiblical texts, such as Tobit; apocryphical compositions of Moses; apocryphical compositions of Jeremia; pseudepigraphical work of Ezekiel; lists of false prophets and netinim; admonition, discourse, exposition on the flood; Exodus/conquest tradition; the patriarchs; general narratives; unclassified fragments; and a text mentioning Zedekiah.[41]

Among the features of the document is a hortatory admonition, separating the Qumran group from its opponents; as well as internal laws of the Qumran community, indicating a priestly leadership.[42] Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 22: Qumran Cave 4.XVII: Parabiblical Texts, Part 3, edited by G. Brooke and others, in consultation with J. VanderKam, included parabiblical texts such as: Aramaic Levi Document, Testament of Naphtali, Prayer of Nabonidus, apocryphon of Daniel, pseudo-Daniel texts, commentaries on Genesis and Malachi, apocryphon of Joshua, and miscellaneous texts. Apocryphon of Daniel included the famous «Son of God excerpt» (4Q246) that had messianic connotations. The editor, Puech, argued that the text probably referred to Antiochus Epiphanes.[43][44]

1997 saw the release of four volumes. Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 15: Qumran Cave 4.X: The Prophets, edited by E. Ulrich and others, included fragmentary manuscripts of the latter Hebrew prophets.[45] Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 20: Qumran Cave 4.XV: Sapiential Texts, Part 1, edited by Torleif Elgvin, consisted of wisdom texts with overlaps of prophecy, psalms and apocalypticism. Two texts stand out: The Words of the Maskil to All Sons of Dawn, a text with esoteric content; and Mysteries, a text combining apocalyptic and sapiential imagery.[46][47][48] Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 24: Wadi Daliyeh Seal Impressions, edited by M.J.W. Leith, included seal impressions preserved on a group of bullae connected to the “Samaria Papyri.” The bullae and papyri were recovered from the Wadi Daliyeh cave by Bedouins.[49][50] Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 27: Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek Documentary Texts from Nahal Hever and Other Sites, with an Appendix Containing Alleged Qumran Texts.

Eshel, the editor of this fragment, argued that the speaker should be identified with «the eschatological High Priest». According to the reviewer, the volume documents «early development of prayer and Halakha.[59] Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 34: Qumran Cave 4.XXIV: 4QInstruction (Musar leMevîn): 4Q415 ff, edited by J.

Reception - recognition and criticism

[edit]

Most of the volumes have been reviewed in academic journals and have been the object of recognition, as well as balanced criticism.

Roberts[6] and Marcus[7] reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 1: Qumran Cave I. Roberts[6] pointed out a few lapses in the transliterations, questioned a few of the interpretations, but concluded that it was an "extremely important edition of scroll-material". Marcus[7] complimented the authors on their great effort and their contribution to the knowledge of the Qumran findings. On the other hand, he pointed out a few inconsistencies in the translation of texts, but only as a fair remark to an otherwise admirable publication.

Roberts[12] reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 3: Les ‘petites grottes’ de Qumrân, and observed a problem with different readings of the Copper Scroll. However, he remarked that the publication of the scroll marks a great achievement.

Dahood[13] and Di Lella[14] reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 4: The Psalms Scroll of Qumrân Cave 11 (11QPsa). Dahood praised the achievement of J. Sanders but also commented upon a number of hermeneutical and philological problems in Sanders' translation. Di Lella brought attention to the Sir fragment and argued for a more thorough analysis of this text.

Winton,[17] Roberts,[19] and Fitzmyer[20] reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 5: Qumrân Cave 4.I (4Q158–4Q186). Winton commented upon the lack of an introduction to the texts and "the absence of any statement about the nature and significance of the text", but concluded with praising the achievement of the editor. Roberts observed that a change "in the editorial policy has left the volume rather bare and factual compared to its predecessors", but concluded that the volume was an "outstanding achievement". Fitzmyer offered several corrections and suggestions to the text of the volume.

Brooke,[31] Knohl,[33] and Sievers[32] reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 10: Qumran Cave 4, V. Miqṣat Ma῾ase ha-Torah. Brooke observed that the editors "with help from other scholars have tried to produce both an edition and a detailed commentary on the text", but "in this volume the two do not sit comfortably together". Knohl complimented the work of the editors, Strugnell and Qimron, but suggested a different dating for the scroll than the dating stated by the authors. Sievers discussed the inclusion of the calendar and concluded that it is «unlikely that a complete calendar formed part of the manuscript». He also brought attention to «textual uncertainties», but concluded that the editors had «produced a superb tool for future research».

Lim,[54] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 11: Qumran Cave 4.VI: Poetical and Liturgical Texts, observed syntactical difficulties in relation to the «King Jonathan fragment».

Fitzmyer,[39] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 14: Qumran Cave 4.IX: Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Kings, observed that even though the texts were fragmentary «the testimony they bear is invaluable and will affect future text-critical study of the Pentateuch».

Brook,[45] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 15: Qumran Cave 4.X: The Prophets, questioned whether "some of these fragments, or groups of fragments", were proper biblical manuscripts, or whether they were excerpts that served other functions.

Davila,[61] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 16: Qumran Cave 4.XI: Psalms to Chronicles, noted that the «editor is to be commended for an especially full edition which includes very welcome detailed discussion and evaluation of the variant readings».

Hempel,[74] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 17: Qumran Cave 4. XII. 1–2 Samuel, concluded that «the value of the Qumran manuscripts of Samuel published here for the text of Samuel in particular as well for the field of textual criticism and Septuagint studies more broadly cannot be overestimated».

Bernstein,[42] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 18: Qumran Cave 4.XIII: The Damascus Document (4Q266–273), noted that «Baumgarten's edition is only a first step toward a comprehensive study of the Damascus Document in all of its textual witnesses, and of its interpretation within the larger Qumran legal corpus».

Lim[43] and Douglas[44] reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 22: Qumran Cave 4.XVII: Parabiblical Texts, Part 3. Lim thanked the editors for producing «reliable editions of the text», and went on to observe that the «volume, published without delay, more than satisfactorily justifies the new policy of open access to the scrolls and the co-operation of an expanded team of scholars». Douglas complimented the editors for doing an "exemplary job of transcription", where they have "rendered the Aramaic and Hebrew into prose" and succeeded in making "these Dead Sea Scrolls accessible to the scholarly public".

Campbell,[55] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 23: Qumran Cave 11.II: 11Q2–18, 11Q20–30, concluded that the book was an "important addition to the series" for all "concerned with the text of the Bible, Second Temple Judaism and the identity of the group behind the Qumran scrolls".

Garrison,[50] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 24: Wadi Daliyeh Seal Impressions, had some minor criticisms to the presentation of seal imagery, but concluded that the «publication marks an extremely important contribution to the study of the material culture of Western Asia in the fourth century B.C.»

Douglas,[57] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 26: Qumran Cave 4.XIX: 4QSerekh Ha-Yah ad and Two Related Texts, remarked that the volume suffered from «belatedness», since the texts had already been made available in other publications. He then went on to observe that «yet laboring with full cognizance of their belatedness has spurred the authors to produce a work of extraordinary excellence».

Bagnall,[51] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 27: Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek Documentary Texts from Nahal Hever and Other Sites, with an Appendix Containing Alleged Qumran Texts (The Seiyâl Collection II), noted that «papyrological researchers (and not they alone) may find the DJD numbering by cave number, site, and text number to have reached absurdity...», but concluded by praising the tedious work of the editors.

Hempel[69] and Kugler[70] reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 31: Qumran Cave 4.XXII: Textes araméens, première partie: 4Q529–549. Hempel found it unfortunate that the publishing of the Book of Giants should span two volumes, volume 31 and 36, but concluded by praising the editor's «skills and experience as an epigrapher». Kugler praised the editor for his «very careful work with the manuscripts themselves and of highly original, imaginative reconstructions».

van der Kooij,[79] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 32: Qumran Cave 1. II: The Isaiah Scrolls. Part 1: Plates and Transcriptions. Part 2: Introductions, Commentary, and Textual Variants, had some critical remarks about spelling, readings, and the list of textual variants, but concluded that «this two-part Isaiah volume marks a major step in the study of the two Isaiah scrolls from Cave 1».

Crawford,[4] who reviewed Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, volume 39: The text from the Judaean Desert: Indices and an Introduction to the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert Series, disagreed with some of the categorizations of the texts presented in the book, but concluded that «Tov and his collaborators are to be congratulated for producing this monumental final volume for what is a monumental series.»
