The Division and Structure of “David’s Compositions” (11Q5)
Full text linkThe 11Q5 scroll is the longest and best-preserved manuscript containing psalms. In col. XXVII, it includes a hitherto unknown work, bearing the title “David’s Compositions.” Beginning with the critical edition, through various works devoted to the analysis of the composition from col. XXVII (2–11), the text is considered the only instance of prose in 11Q5. The main aim of the paper is to analyse the text of David’s Compositions in order to determine its literary form and structure. The paper is divided into several sections. The first section presents the Hebrew text with an English translation and a few remarks focused on the physical description of the text of David’s Compositions. The next one is a brief analysis of the internal context of the end of the Great Psalms Scroll, where the analysed text of David’s Compositions can be found. Finally, and most importantly, the Compositions were divided into verses and their literary form and structure was determined.

David as a Prophet in the Text of "David’s Compositions" (11Q5 xxvii 2–11) against the Background of the Qumran Literature
Full text linkThe main aim of this paper is to analyse the biblical figure of King David as a prophet based on the apocryphal text of “David’s Compositions,”which is part of the Great Psalms Scroll from Cave 11 at Qumran (11Q5 xxvii 2–11). The paper consists of three parts. The first part is an analysis of the text of“David’s Compositions” itself. It includes the Hebrew text with its translation into English, the context, and the detailed exegesis of the composition with a strong emphasis on the interpretation of the ending of v. l.3 and the first half of vv. l.4 and l.11 (col. xxvii), relevant to the subject of the presentation. The objective of the second part is to look, in the context of David’s Compositions,” at the terminology defining the function and figure of the prophet in the Qumran Caves Scrolls. This enables us to limit a huge number of manuscripts only to those in which this terminology occurs. Their content is further verified in terms of their connection to the figure of David. The final, third part concerns the interpretation of three fragments from 4QMMT
"My hands have made a flute and my fingers a zither" (Ps 151,4). The image of David in trhe Psalms Scroll (11QPsa) from qumran
No full textWydział Teologii, Instytut Nauk Teologicznych; promotor rozprawy doktorskiej: ks. dr hab. Henryk Józef Drawnel, prof. KUL; promotor pomocniczy: ks. d Tomasz Bartłomiej BąkTeksty Psalmu 151 i Kompozycji Dawidowych obecnie w Zwoju Psalmów 11Q5) z groty jedenastej stanowią podstawę analiz nad postacią Dawida w prezentowanej dysertacji. Na całość pracy składają się takie elementy jak: wykaz skrótów, lista tabel, wstęp, trzy rozdziały, zakończenie i bibliografia.W pierwszym rozdziale (Zwój Psalmów 11QPsa i jego interpretacja) zaprezentowana została historia odkrycia i publikacji manuskryptu, jego struktura w relacji do Psałterza Masoreckiego i innych zwojów Psalmów z Qumran. Rozdział drugi, który jest główną częścią pracy, zawiera analizę Psalmu 151 i Kompozycji Dawidowych. Badanie tych tekstów przebiega według tego samego schematu: paleografia, datacja, tekst hebrajski wraz z polskim tłumaczeniem, krytyka tekstu (gdy chodzi o Ps 151), badanie języka hebrajskiego w przekroju diachronicznym (gdy chodzi o KD), analiza gatunku oraz formy literackiej i jej struktury. Ostatnim elementem dla obydwu części tego rozdziału jest egzegeza, zwieńczona krótkimi wnioskami. Trzeci rozdział zawiera najpierw porównanie Ps 151A i B z narracją 1 Sm16-17, by pokazać, w jaki sposób autor Psalmu dokonał egzegetycznej reinterpretacji przywalonych rozdziałów z 1 Księgi Samuela. W dalszej części przestudiowane zostały trzy główne pojęcia, które ukazała analiza Ps 151 oraz KD, tj. Dawid jako prorok i mędrzec (KD). W obydwu przypadkach najpierw ukazano tło biblijne, następnie przywołano fragmenty pism z Qumran, które dotyczą wyżej wymienionych idei, i na końcu tam, gdzie to możliwe - fragmenty literatury apokryficznej i wczesnochrześcijańskiej.The Psalms Scroll (11Q5) is the base of dissertation, especially the two texts: Psalm 151 and David's Compositions which describes David's image, his qualities characterization, his musical abilities, his behavior (actions, activities), his relations with God and his literary activity. The dissertation consists of a list of abbreviations, a short introduction, three chapters, a compact final conclusion and a bibliography. In the first chapter (Psalms Scroll and its interpretation) I outline the history of the discovery of the Psalms Scroll, the history of its publication and interpretation. In this section I'm describing the scroll and I', giving a general overview of the scholarly discussion concerning the manuscript. The most important thing is the fourth paragraph which examines the structure and content of the Scroll in relation to the Biblical Psalter and others Psalms Scrolls from Qumran. In this space I correlate the sequence of the compositions from the Scroll 11Q5 with the arrangement of another Psalms Scrolls, especially from the fourth and eleventh Caves. The second chapter which is titled Exegesis of Psalm 151 and David's Compositions is the most extensive of all. The first half of this chapter concerning the Psalm 151 and the second concerning the David's Compositions have the same internal arrangement: paleography, Hebrew text with Polish translation, orthography, textual criticism, literary analysis of the poem and its interpretation. The only visible difference in the order of 2 half of this chapters concerns the analysis of the Hebrew language in the diachronic method. The Hebrew text with Polish translation is attached in both cases at the beginning of the chapter as the basis for follow up studies. The third and last chapter is titled: David in the Ps 151 and David's Compositions (11QPsa) in the context of Biblical and Qumran Literature. This part of the dissertation consists of 4 paragraphs. each one of these is really a summing up of the most important ideas found in the 2 chapter. Exegetical approach of Psalm 151 has shown David as a shepherd and ruler over the sons on covenant. Exegesis of David's Compositions has allowed to see David as a prophet and a sage
Was King David an Exorcist?
Full text linkThis article analyses the image of David as an exorcist. The choice of the research topic has been inspired by the fact that in the literature, more specifically, in an article by Kenneth E. Pomykala, this issue is presented in a very general way, by indicating only texts where such an image of David can be found, without entering into their deeper interpretations. Also, no scientific article covering this topic in detail has been published to date. The paper is divided into three parts. The first part presents biblical texts in which – as Pomykala has proven – one can talk about this characteristic of David. In the second part, fragments of two Qumran manuscripts, 11Q5 and 11Q11, are analysed. Finally, an analysis of the literaturę of early Jewish writings, portraying David as an exorcist, is provided.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
The Figure of David in the Hebrew Version of Psalm 151 (11Q5)
No full textUntil the discovery of Qumran scrolls, Psalm 151 was known only through its Greek and Latin versions that make part of the Book of Psalms in the Septuagint and Vulgate respectively. A Syriac translation included in the Apocryphal Psalms of the Syriac collection from the 10th century was also known. In 1965 James Sanders published the Psalm Scroll, a collection of mostly Hebrew Masoretic psalms found in Qumran Cave 11, together with the Hebrew text of Ps 151 that makes part of the scroll. This article focuses on the figure of David depicted in Psalm 151 which in the poetic form retells the story of the son of Jesse found in 1 Samuel, chapters 16 and 17. The article is divided into two parts. In the first one, we describe the scroll and give a general overview of the scholarly discussion concerning the psalm. The second part contains the Hebrew text of Psalm 151 and its Polish translation together with the linguistic, syntactical and theological analyses followed by a brief summing up
King David as a Righteous Man in the Light of Qumran Literature and Post-Biblical Texts of Early Judaism
Full text linkThe present paper analyses the picture of David as a righteous man depicted in non-biblical Qumran texts and the literature of Early Judaism. The choice of such a broad research field results from the fact that no articles have been published so far that would examine this theme in detail based on the above compositions. Thus, undertaking this task is a justified endeavour. The paper will be divided into three parts. The first part will present the biblical background, mainly based on post-exilic literature. In the second part, fragments of four Qumran manuscripts – 4QMMT, CD, 1Q33 and 11Q5 – will be analysed. Finally, the literature of early Jewish writings containing depictions of David will be discussed. A thorough analysis of all these texts will show that David was a righteous man
