  • A Rare Torah in the Library of Congress Gary A
    COURTESY OF THE HEBRAIC SECTION, AFRICAN AND MIDDLE EAST DIVISION, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CONGRESS OF OF LIBRARY LIBRARY DIVISION, DIVISION, EAST EAST MIDDLE MIDDLE AND AND AFRICAN AFRICAN SECTION, SECTION, HEBRAIC HEBRAIC THE THE OF OF COURTESY COURTESY 46 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2019 A Rare Torah in the Library of Congress Gary A. Rendsburg In January 2018, the Library of Congress announced that it had obtained a c. 1,000-year-old Torah scroll sheet. What makes this Torah scroll sheet so important? Where is it from? And how did it reach the halls of the de facto national library of the United States? Here is the story, though fi rst some background. As readers of BAR know, in ancient Israel and during the Greco- Roman period, biblical books were written on scrolls, made either from papyrus (in the earlier period) or from parchment (in the later period). Our most important testimony, of course, stems from the more than 200 biblical manuscripts found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran, dated from the third through fi rst centuries B.C.E. In the scroll format, the text was written on only one side of the available writing surface, what we may call the inside surface. With the rise of Christianity, the written text took a new form, the codex, the forerunner of the modern book. In this format, the text was written on both sides of the parchment sheet, and then the sheets were piled one on top of the other and sewn together—again, consider the modern book. The most famous exemplar is probably Codex Sinaiticus,* a complete (or nearly so) manuscript of the Greek Bible (including both * See “Who Owns the Codex Sinaiticus?” BAR, November/December 2007.

October 3-5, 2018 baltimorehomecoming.com #bmorehome#baltimorehome 1 Header here PHOTO BY ISAAC GUERRERO @S_ISAAC_GUERRERO #baltimorehome 2 #baltimorehome 3 WELCOME DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome home! We are so excited to have you back in Charm City for the first annual Baltimore Homecoming. We are grateful to the hundreds of leaders from across Baltimore – reverends and educators, artists and business executives, activists and philanthropists – who joined together to organize this event. We each have our own memories of Baltimore – a humid summer afternoon or spring ballgame, a favorite teacher or a first job. We hope that you take time while you’re home to reconnect with your past and savor the city – catch up with friends and family, drop by a favorite restaurant, or visit an old neighborhood. Reconnecting is the first step. But our deeper hope is that you begin to forge a new relationship to the city. Whether you left five years ago or fifty, Baltimore has evolved. The Baltimore of today has a dynamic real estate market and budding technology sector. Our artists are leading the national conversation on race and politics. Our nonprofit entrepreneurs are on the cutting-edge of social change. The Port of Baltimore is one of the fastest growing in the U.S. The city’s growth has emerged from and complemented our historic pillars of strength – a rich cultural heritage, world-class research institutions, strategic geographic location, and beautiful waterfront. Baltimore faces significant challenges that we cannot ignore: segregation, entrenched poverty, crime and violence.
