Thanks, Soren, for mentioning the DSS Reader 3 text 4Q226 frag. 6a. I haven't seen DSSR vol. 3. Is there more information there about this fragment and its assignment or provenance or editor (H. Eshel; J. VanderKam?)? It had/has previously been called Genesis 22 frag. and 4Q252 frag. Maybe it's just me this morning, but the photos of 4Q226 in DJD XIII plate XI seem fairly poor quality. I see "Isaac" is spelled the same way in frag. 7 line 5.
By the way, the DSS Reader vol. 6 is in print, according to brill.nl I think it was supposed to include a few corrected readings of pesharim (with a revised DJD V Brooke and Bernstein to come later, unless I'm misinformed). Anyone seen that? Some other still unpublished privately-owned Qumran-claimed fragments are in the Schoyen Collection. Those from 11QT col. 1 if genuine may be important. Yadin said the first sheet was a replacement sheet, scribe A. I requested from the Shrine of the Book the locations (sheet or fragment) of the C14 tests; I have received a reply that it may take time to locate the information. Such would aid in attempting to verify (if we can speak of verifying) stray fragments. And potentially for comparing C14 results with DNA results--since not every sheet in a scroll need have the same date or source, but fragments of the same sheet should have. I also asked at the Schoyen Collection whether they would C14 test, or have done so, the date pen. best, Stephen Goranson _______________________________________________ g-Megillot mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot
