Interpreting Collection in the Dead Sea Scrolls
Thursday, October 29th,听2020
Hindy Najman (University of Oxford) and Eibert Tigchelaar (KU Leuven).听Recently the speakers have become increasingly interested in how the Dead Sea scrolls were produced: who wrote and copied these scrolls and how did they do it 鈥� materially and intellectually? Did these Jewish scribes collect texts in one scroll for practical reasons? Does collection reflect a creative growth of traditions? Or were scribes driven by an anthological temper? Should unique combinations of collected texts be regarded as intentional literary productions? This lecture will provide an overview, and discuss some of the rules of these scrolls, such as the limits or unlimitedness of collection.
