Abstract This article tells the story of 4 Q 419, a manuscript that was once associated with a well-known Wisdom text: 4QInstruction. However, following its removal from 4QInstruction and re-categorisation as an “Unclassified Manuscript” in the 1990s (see DSSR 6 and DJD 39), 4 Q 419 has been largely overlooked by the scholarly community. There are two core objectives to this article. First, it encourages scholars to re-engage with a neglected manuscript that still has much to contribute to discussions of pluriformity, textual development, and the scribal background of 4QInstruction. Second, this article attempts to shed light on the ramifications of scholarly adherence to the Wisdom label and raises broader concerns about the degree to which our designated labels influence the way we read, understand, and talk about the Scrolls.

This brief note proposes a new identification for a fragment of one of the Psalm manuscripts from Qumran. On the basis of material conditions—but above all else, the distinctive paleography of the script—4Q98c (4QP st) should be considered as part of the same manuscript known as 4Q85 (4QP sc). If this identification is correct, the latter now contains material known from the second half of the (proto-)MT Psalter, increasing the plausibility that it once contained the entire book of Psalms.

When the Dead Sea scroll 1QHodayota, containing a collection of thanksgiving psalms from Qumran, was acquired by Eleazar L. Sukenik in 1947, he received it in two separate bundles of folded and wadded material. In this article, I explore whether the material from these two bundles belongs to the same scroll or to two separate scrolls as Jean Carmignac and Angela Kim Harkins have proposed. While it is generally recognized that the folded bundle contained cols. 9–20, it is disputed whether cols. 1–8 were found with cols. 21–28 in the wadded bundle. I examine early photographs and accounts of the discovery, acquisition, and opening of 1QHa to establish what material came from the wadded bundle and whether there is evidence that the bundles belonged to the same scroll. I also discuss different scenarios for how the folded and wadded bundles of 1QHa might have been formed and which of them offers the most plausible explanation for the state of the material evidence.
1947年,Eleazar L.Sukenik获得了死海卷轴《1QHodayota》,其中包含库姆兰的感恩诗篇集,他将其分为两捆,分别用折叠和填充的材料收到。在这篇文章中,我探讨了这两捆中的材料是属于同一卷轴,还是属于Jean Carmignac和Angela Kim Harkins提出的两个独立卷轴。虽然人们普遍认为折叠的束包含cols。9月9日至20日,是否关闭存在争议。在cols中发现1–8个。21–28。我检查了早期的照片和1QHa的发现、获取和打开的描述,以确定填充的包裹中有什么材料,以及是否有证据表明这些包裹属于同一卷轴。我还讨论了1QHa的折叠和填充束可能是如何形成的不同场景,以及其中哪一个对物证的状态提供了最合理的解释。
