Document Details : Title: Are there למשכיל Sections in the Hodayot? Subtitle: Evidence from Cave 4 Author(s): PANNKUK, Justin L. Journal: Revue de Qumran Volume: 28 Issue: 1 Date: numéro 107, 2016 Pages: 3-13 DOI: 10.2143/RQ.28.1.3149523 Abstract : This essay evaluates a proposal that one comes across in much of the secondary literature on the Hodayot: namely, that the collection of hymns preserved in 1QHa is comprised of smaller sets or groups that are each demarcated by a למשכיל heading. This proposal is examined in light of the comparative evidence for the arrangement of hymns in the Cave 4 manuscripts, especially 4QHa (4Q427) and 4QHe (4Q431). The analysis shows that the proposed למשכיל groups from 1QHa fail to obtain across the Cave 4 manuscripts, and it is suggested instead that the למשכיל incipits simply served as headings for the particular hymns with which they are paired. |
