This is the second of two thematic editions focused on the theme “Jewish Wisdom from the Judean Wilderness to Diaspora.”¹ In this edition, the weight of the contributions is focused on Qumran discoveries. A composition that features in three of these articles, and discussed in the fourth, is 1Q/4QInstruction (1Q26; 4Q415–418, 423).² A number of previously unknown sapiential texts were preserved in Qumran Cave 4. These include 4QBeatitudes (4Q525), several texts that are simply titled as Sapiential Works (4Q474–476), Instruction-like compositions (4Q424–426), and two Sapiential Hymns (4Q411, 4Q498). Among these, 4QInstruction is the longest. Originally it was about thirty columns long and is preserved in at least eight manuscripts. 1Q/4QInstruction is significant not only because of the many fragments that preserve roughly a third of the original composition. Its sapiential teaching is also located within an explicit cosmology. While there is general agreement about the significance of 1Q/4QInstruction for understanding the development of early Jewish wisdom, debates remain about the interpretation of this composition. Contributions here contribute to the ordering of fragments (Asaf Gayer), translation (Benjamin Wold), and teaching about economics (Jonthan Ben Dov). George Brooke looks broadly at the Qumran sapiential literature, with special attention to esoteric tradition.

介绍

这是两个主题版本的第二个主题版本，其主题为“从犹太人的荒野到散居的犹太智慧”。¹在此版本中，贡献的重点是昆兰的发现。其中的三篇文章（第四篇文章中进行了讨论）的组成是1Q / 4QInstruction（1Q26; 4Q415–418，423）。^2个在Qumran Cave 4中保存了许多以前未知的智慧文本。这些文本包括4QBeatitudes（4Q525），一些简单地称为Sapiential Works（4Q474–476），类似指令的构图（4Q424–426）和两个Sapiential Hymns （4Q411、4Q498）。其中，4QInstruction最长。最初它长约三十列，并保存在至少八份手稿中。1Q / 4Q指令之所以重要，不仅是因为许多片段保留了大约原始成分的三分之一。它的智识教学也位于一个明确的宇宙学之内。尽管人们普遍同意1Q / 4Q指令对于理解早期犹太智慧的发展具有重要意义，但关于这种构成的解释仍存在争议。这里的贡献有助于片段的排序（Asaf Gayer），翻译（Benjamin Wold）和关于经济学的讲授（Jonthan Ben Dov）。乔治·布鲁克（George Brooke）着眼于昆兰（Gumran）的智慧文学，特别关注深奥的传统。
