摘要

摘要叙利亚手稿有几个数字系统,早期的研究已经确定了三个基于叙利亚字母的数字系统。在手稿伦敦,大英图书馆,Add. 14587中发现的边缘注释保留了第四个和先前未描述的字母数字系统。在介绍了这一系统并讨论了导致其鉴定的证据之后,本文从古生物学的角度提出,八世纪晚期形成了该手稿中发现的数字的终点线。对捐赠笔记和另一份手稿的分析进一步表明,这些数字是由居住在埃及的叙利亚传统僧侣或僧侣添加的,与上埃及的修道院或Wadi al- naha的叙利亚修道院(Dayr al-Suryan)有关。无论哪种情况,手稿空白处发现的字母数字系统反映了埃及叙利亚修道院团体为管理叙利亚文学遗产和塑造其他人接触它的方式所做的努力。

Curating the Syriac Literary Heritage in Egyptian Monasteries: A Newly Identified Numeral System in Syriac (British Library, add. 14587)*
Abstract
Syriac manuscripts feature several systems of numerals, and earlier studies have identified three based on the Syriac alphabet. Marginal notes found in the manuscript London, British Library, Add. 14587 preserve a fourth and previously undescribed alphabetic numeral system. After presenting this system and discussing the evidence that led to its identification, this article argues on palaeographic grounds that the late eighth century forms a terminus post quem for the numerals found in this manuscript. Analyses of a donation note and another manuscript further suggest that the numerals were added by a monk or monks from the Syriac tradition residing in Egypt, associated with either a monastery in Upper Egypt or the Monastery of the Syrians (Dayr al-Suryan) in Wadi al-Naṭ. In either case, the alphabetic numeral system found in the margins of this manuscript reflects theefforts of Syriac monastic communities in Egypt to curate the Syriac literary heritage and shape the way others encountered it.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Semitic Studies was established in 1955 and since then has built up a reputation as one of the leading international academic journals in its field. Semitic Studies has always been understood by the editors to include the modern as well as the ancient Near (Middle) East, with special emphasis on research into the languages and literatures of the area. The editors continue to maintain the policy of ensuring that each volume contains items of interest to Orientalists and Biblical Scholars. Extensive reviews of selected books, as well as general review notices, remain a feature of the Journal.
