This article focuses on reading culture as an aspect of the Dead Sea Scrolls textual community in its ancient Mediterranean context. On the basis of comparative evidence, the article approaches reading in ancient Judaism as a multi-dimensional and deeply social activity by taking reading aloud, writing, and memorizing as intertwined practices occurring in group reading events. The evidence discussed, such as from Philo of Alexandria, the first-century CE Theodotus inscription from Jerusalem, and 1QS 6:6–8, reflects certain aspects of reading cultures shared between different Jewish communities in the ancient Mediterranean during the Hellenistic and early Roman periods. In addition, it is argued that features such as scribal marks in manuscripts, evidence such as the writing of excerpts, manuscripts such as 4Q159 and 4Q265, or note-taking in 4Q175 and other such manuscripts should be considered within the context of the ancient procedure of reading by intellectual or scholarly readers. Moreover, the article suggests that the Genesis Apocryphon actually preserves a glimpse of the scrolls’ elite reading culture described in a text from Hellenistic-period Judaea.

一起阅读、写作和记忆：阅读古代犹太教文化和地中海语境中的死海古卷

本文侧重于将文化作为死海古卷文本社区在其古代地中海语境中的一个方面。文章在比较证据的基础上，将朗读、写作和记忆作为发生在集体阅读事件中的相互交织的实践，将古代犹太教的阅读视为一种多维度、深刻的社会活动。所讨论的证据，例如来自亚历山大的斐洛、公元一世纪耶路撒冷的狄奥多德铭文和 1QS 6:6-8，反映了古地中海不同犹太社区在希腊化和早期罗马时期共享的阅读文化的某些方面期间。此外，还认为手稿中的抄写标记等特征、摘录的写作等证据、手稿如 4Q159 和 4Q265，或 4Q175 中的笔记和其他此类手稿应在知识分子或学术读者的古老阅读程序的背景下考虑。此外，该文章表明，创世记外经实际上保留了古希腊时期犹地亚文本中描述的古卷精英阅读文化的一瞥。
