Welcome to the Department of Literature, History of Ideas and Religion!
And welcome to the course Qumran and New Material Philology!
Our first seminar takes place on January 22 at 10.15-12.00 in C332 for campus students and on ZOOM for online students (please find link under "modules").
Our second seminar takes place on February 5 at 10.15-12.00.
Prepare by reading the following literature:
Hugo Lundhaug & Liv Ingeborg Lied. “Studying Snapshots: On Manuscript Culture, Textual Fluidity, and New Philology,” in Snapshots of Evolving Traditions: Jewish and Christian Manuscript Culture, Textual Fluidity, and New Philology. Eds. Ingeborg Lied, Liv, and Hugo Lundhaug. Vol. 175. Berlin/Boston: De Gruyter, 2017: 1-19.
Nichols, Stephen G. "Introduction: Philology in a Manuscript Culture." Speculum 65.1 (1990): 1-9.
You may wish to consult the Swedish introduction to, and translation of, the Dead Sea Scrolls:
Dödahavsrullarna Svensk översättning, eds. Winninge, Mikael, Skarström Hinojosa, Kamilla, Isaksson, Bo, Norin, Stig, Ulfgard, Håkan, and Wassén, Cecilia (Uppsala: Bibelakademiförlaget, 2017)
Or an English equivalent (there are several), e.g. this introduction:
Timothy H. LIM, The Dead Sea Scrolls: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions, 143). Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2005, X+138 pp.
When it comes to English translations I prefer the one that is also on the reading list, namely the different volumes of:
Charlesworth, James H. The Dead Sea Scrolls : Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Texts with English Translations. Published by The Princeton Theological Seminary Dead Sea Scrolls Project.
Please note that all seminars are mandatory!
