In 1956 the first manuscript of the Temple Scroll (TS) was discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS). For eleven years it lay hidden in a Bata shoebox beneath the floorboards of an antiquities dealer in Bethlehem until it was acquired by Yigael Yadin in 1967. Four further, fragmentary copies were published in subsequent decades.The diverse contents of the TS deal with an elaborate account of the design of the temple, religious festivals, purity regulations, and an elaboration of a series of biblical laws often called a Deuteronomic paraphrase. The latter includes a distinctive treatment of kingship, where the king's power is curtailed by a council of advisors (White-Crawford 2000). A striking feature of the TS is its account of the revelation of the law on Mount Sinai, not via Moses, but directly from the mouth of God. This led Yadin to describe the scroll as a new Torah (Yadin 1983). Research to date has focused primarily on printed critical editions of the TS. This project will consider the content of the TS in conjunction with a detailed material analysis of each manuscript.I will integrate analysis of the scrolls' content with analysis of the material remains, including the meticulous preparation of the main scroll before its inscription, the division of the text into sections, and scribal corrections. Once the material evidence has been comprehensively brought to bear on the analysis of the content of the manuscripts, I will ask what drove literary elites to combine several originally independent sources (Wilson and Wills 1982; Wise 1990) to form the exquisite, deluxe scroll from Cave 11, the longest of the DSS. The parchment has been split to produce an almost translucently thin scroll. My results will shed important new light on the scribes and editors of the Temple Scrolls and their relationship to the scribes who produced manuscripts of other legal texts such as 4QMMT (Kratz 2020; Hempel 2020; Shemesh 2009) and the Damascus Document (Hempel 1998, 2000; Wassen 2005). This project will also contribute to ancient and mediaeval Manuscript Studies more broadly, now facilitated through the journal Manuscript Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

1956年，在死海古卷（DSS）中发现了圣殿古卷（TS）的第一份手稿。11年来，它一直藏在伯利恒一家古董商的地板下的巴塔鞋盒里，直到1967年被Yigael Yadin收购。在随后的几十年里，又出版了四本残缺不全的抄本。TS的内容多样，详细描述了圣殿的设计、宗教节日、纯洁的规定，以及对一系列圣经律法的阐述，这些律法通常被称为申命记释义。后者包括对王权的独特处理，国王的权力被一个由顾问组成的理事会限制（怀特-克劳福德2000）。TS的一个显著特点是它对西奈山律法启示的描述，不是通过摩西，而是直接从上帝的口中。这使得Yadin将该卷轴描述为新的Torah（Yadin 1983）。迄今为止的研究主要集中在TS的印刷版。本项目将对TS的内容进行研究，并对每一份手稿进行详细的材料分析。我将把对卷轴内容的分析与对材料遗迹的分析结合起来，包括在铭文前对主卷轴的精心准备、文本的分段和抄写的修改。一旦物证被全面地用于对手稿内容的分析，我会问，是什么驱使文学精英们将几个原本独立的来源（威尔逊和威尔斯，1982;怀斯，1990）联合收割机组合起来，形成了第11窟的精美、豪华的卷轴，这是最长的一个。这张羊皮纸被劈开，形成了一个几乎薄得令人窒息的卷轴。我的研究结果将对《圣殿古卷》的抄写员和编辑者及其与其他法律的文本（如4 QMMT（Kratz 2020; Hempel 2020; Shemesh 2009）和大马士革文件（Hempel 1998，2000; Wassen 2005））的抄写员的关系提供重要的新见解。该项目还将有助于古代和中世纪的Mandarpt研究更广泛，现在通过杂志Mandarpt研究在宾夕法尼亚大学促进。
