ArgumentThe Astronomical Book of Enoch describes the passage of the moon through the gates of heaven, which stand at the edges of the earth. In doing so, the book describes the position of the rising and setting of the moon on the horizon. Otto Neugebauer, the historian of ancient science, suggested using the detailed tables found in later Ethiopic texts in order to reconstruct the path of the moon through the gates. This paper offers a new examination of earlier versions of the Astronomical Book, using a mathematical analysis of the figures and astronomical theories presented throughout the Aramaic Astronomical Book; the results fit both the data preserved in the scrolls and the mathematical approach and religious ideology of the scroll's authors better than the details found in the late Ethiopic texts. Among other new insights, this alternate theory also teaches about the process of the composition of the Astronomical Book in the first centuries of its composition.

第一位犹太天文学家:月球理论和死海古卷的重建

论据《以诺的天文书》描述了月球穿过位于地球边缘的天堂之门的通道。在这样做的过程中,这本书描述了月亮在地平线上的升起和落下的位置。古代科学史学家奥托·纽格鲍尔建议使用后来的埃塞俄比亚文献中的详细表格来重建月球穿过大门的路径。本文对《天文学书》的早期版本进行了新的检验,对《阿拉姆天文学书》中出现的数字和天文学理论进行了数学分析;结果与保存在卷轴中的数据以及卷轴作者的数学方法和宗教意识形态相吻合,比在晚期埃塞俄比亚文本中发现的细节要好。在其他新见解中,
