Andrew W. Mellon Collection 1937.1.1 ENTRY The painting shows the Madonna seated frontally on an elaborate, curved, two-tier, wooden throne of circular plan.[1] She is supporting the blessing Christ child on her left arm according to the iconographic tradition of the Hodegetria.[2] Mary is wearing a red mantle over an azure dress. The child is dressed in a salmon-colored tunic and blue mantle; he holds a red scroll in his left hand, supporting it on his lap.[3] In the upper corners of the panel, at the height of the Virgin’s head, two medallions contain busts of two archangels [fig. 1] [fig. 2], with their garments surmounted by loroi and with scepters and spheres in their hands.[4] It was Bernard Berenson (1921) who recognized the common authorship of this work and Enthroned Madonna and Child and who concluded—though admitting he had no specialized knowledge of art of this cultural area—that they were probably works executed in Constantinople around 1200.[5] These conclusions retain their authority and continue to stir debate.

  • The Use of the Participle in the Hebrew Bar Kosiba Letters in the Light of Aramaic
    DSD 14,1_Gzella-90-98 11/16/06 12:52 PM Page 90 THE USE OF THE PARTICIPLE IN THE HEBREW BAR KOSIBA LETTERS IN THE LIGHT OF ARAMAIC HOLGER GZELLA Leiden University Even though Simon Bar Kosiba’s political ambitions were doomed to failure, he eventually seems to have revolutionized, albeit long post mortem, people’s views on the linguistic situation in Palestine around the time of Christ. Earlier scholars usually believed that Hebrew as a living language had died out completely soon after the Babylonian Exile; in 1960, however, the caves of Wadi MurabbaÆat, Nahal Hever and Nahal Seelim in the Judaean Desert yielded a number of letters either from himself or from his executives during the upheaval (132–135 CE).1 Several of them are written not in Aramaic or Greek, but in a previously unknown variety of Hebrew; seven Hebrew letters have been preserved sufficiently well to permit a wider-ranging lin- guistic investigation. This discovery quickly brought about a change of the majority opinion towards an acceptance (by now almost unan- imous) of the view that the use of Hebrew was not limited to learned circles, but that it was still a “spoken language” in that time—what- ever the intrinsically vague term “spoken language” is in fact supposed to mean.2 Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that Aramaic became very much dominant and thereby also exercised a growing influence on Hebrew from the fifth century BCE onwards. This has by now been shown in great detail with respect to morphology and lexicon.3 1 Text and sigla cited according to: A.

  • A Day in the Life of Hananiah Nothos: a Story by Magen Broshi
    A Day in the Life of Hananiah Nothos: A Story By Magen Broshi When Hananiah Nothos1 woke up it was still dark outside. He and his companions who shared the cave with him2 did not have to change--they wore the same clothes day and night. After washing their hands,3 they hurried to the morning prayer.4 On the plateau, near the community center,5 stood a group of some hundred and twenty, most of them cave dwellers and a few old and infirm residents of the center. They stood facing east, toward the rising sun, dressed in tattered sandals and ragged clothes, white garb that had known better times.6 1 Hananiah Nothos. A scroll published recently has preserved the names of some members of the Qumran community. This is the only one of the six hundred non-biblical scrolls, which contains such data. Here, the overseer wrote down the names of those he rebuked and the misdemeanors they committed. One of the rebuked was Hananiah Nothos. Cf. Esther Eshel, "4Q477: The Rebukes of the Overseer," Journal of Jewish Studies 45 (1994), pp.110-22. 2 Who shared the cave with him. It seems that most of the inhabitants of Qumran (originally called Secacah, see below) lived in caves. Cf. M.Broshi, "The Archeology of Qumran-a Reconsideration," in The Dead Sea Scrolls, Forty Years of Research , edited by D. Dimant and U. Rappaport (Leiden and Jerusalem: Brill-Magnes, 1992), p. 104. Even if J. Patrich is correct in his contention that only one of the natural caves in the rocky escarpment was used for habitation, he cannot deny that at least six artificial caves below the marl plateau were used for this purpose.

  • The Impact of the Documentary Papyri from the Judaean Desert on the Study of Jewish History from 70 to 135 CE
    Hannah M. Cotton The Impact of the Documentary Papyri from the Judaean Desert on the Study of Jewish History from 70 to 135 CE We are now in possession of inventories of almost the entire corpus of documents discovered in the Judaean Desert1. Obviously the same cannot be said about the state of publication of the documents. We still lack a great many documents. I pro- pose to give here a short review of those finds which are relevant to the study of Jewish history between 70 and 135 CE. The survey will include the state of publi- cation of texts from each find2. After that an attempt will be made to draw some interim, and necessarily tentative, conclusions about the contribution that this fairly recent addition to the body of our evidence can make to the study of differ- ent aspects of Jewish history between 70 and 135 CE. This material can be divided into several groups: 1) The first documents came from the caves of Wadi Murabba'at in 1952. They were published without much delay in 19613. The collection consists of docu- ments written in Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Arabic, and contains, among 1 For a complete list till the Arab conquest see Hannah M.

  • Storage Conditions and Physical Treatments Relating to the Dating of the Dead Sea Scrolls
    [RADIOCARBON, VOL. 37, No. 1, 1995, P. 21-32] STORAGE CONDITIONS AND PHYSICAL TREATMENTS RELATING TO THE DATING OF THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS NICCOLO CALDARARO Department of Anthropology, San Francisco State University 1600 Holloway Avenue, San Francisco, California 94132 USA ABSTRACT. The Dead Sea Scrolls have been analyzed by paleographic, non-destructive and destructive testing. The dates of their creation have been in dispute since their discovery. Research has established their authenticity, but a variety of con- ditions including the methods of skin preparation, variation in storage conditions and post-discovery restoration treatments could have introduced changes now affecting dating efforts. Comprehensive analyses were not possible until recently. Such analysis must be performed to establish a concrete framework for all the texts. Professor R. B. Blake told a story in response to a question of why so little remained of writing on leather. He said that on one of his expedi- tions to Asia Minor, one of his native servants exhibited proudly some chamois trousers of his own manufacture, upon which Professor Blake detected with sorrow, traces of medieval writing (Reed 1972). INTRODUCTION A recent 14C study of 14 Dead Sea Scrolls by Bonani et al. (1992) is a welcome addition to the ana- lytical literature on the Scrolls. The authors have undertaken a more comprehensive sampling than any previous study, an effort that T. B. Kahle and I proposed in an article in Nature in 1986. In that article, we commented on amino acid racemization analysis of the Dead Sea Scrolls published by Weiner et al. (1980). Our comments then, as mine now, relate to the potential effects on dating results of prior storage conditions and restoration treatments.

  • Marta Nagy Demeter Hadzsi's "Proskynetarion"
    Marta Nagy Demeter Hadzsi’s "proskynetarion" in Jászberény Series Byzantina 4, 39-53 2006 Demeter HadzsVs Proskynetarion in Jászberény Marta Nagy University of Debrecen To the best of our knowledge, there are altogether six proskynetaria in Hungary, including the one which is the subject of the present study (il. 1). In two earlier items the time of their painting (1748, 1768) and the name of the painters are also depicted. Two other items were made in the second half of the 18th century, and a fifth one in 1791. All of them are painted in oil on canvas,1 similar to the one described here, which is in the possession of the Jász Museum of Jászberény.2 Out of the six artefacts this is the only one which does not come from a church environment, but was originally owned by a private person.3 The compositions of the proskynetarion are schematic. Their identifica­ tion is based on the analogical scenes mentioned in special literature and on the inscriptions, which are published here without any changes. Com- positionally the item can be divided into three clearly separated units: the narrower lower and upper sections, and the wider central one. The upper section 1) An eagle with a Gospel-book in a circular shape (inscription: Ιω), Saint John the Evangelist as an Apocalyptic symbol (Rev. 4,6-7). 2) Nazareth (inscription: Η NAZOAPET). The view of the town is shown from the outside. It is surrounded by the town wall, which is di­ vided into sections by four towers. There is a church building with a cu- 1 The analysis of these items is still in process.
