Wicked Priest - Notes

Notes

^ α: 1QpHab 1.13 is sometimes reconstructed as (fifth) use of the sobriquet. The reconstruction is made by analogy to 4QpPsa frags. 1-10, col. 4.7-10, but has been challenged, thus pushing the first reference to the Wicked Priest to col. 8, with the interpretation of the first of a series of woes. 1QpHab 5.8-12 interprets "wicked one" as the Liar, rather than the Wicked Priest
^ β: Some scholars question whether the Wicked Priest was a High Priest or even a priest at all, and still others whether a historical identification is possible or appropriate.
^ γ: Daniel 11 was extant in the Qumran corpus: 4QDanc: 11.1-2, 13-17, 25-29; 4QDana: 11:13-16; pap6QDan: 11:33-36, 38. The relevance phrase is extant in the first two scrolls.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The night is itself sleep
    And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
    Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The germ of violence is laid bare in the child abuser by the sheer accident of his individual experience ... in a word, to a greater degree than we like to admit, we are all potential child abusers.
    F. Gonzalez-Crussi, Mexican professor of pathology, author. “Reflections on Child Abuse,” Notes of an Anatomist (1985)
