Preface

A. Acknowledgements for Financial Support

      From March to July 1989 and from August 1990 to the present Dr. Reed has been working with the photographs at the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center and from August 1989 through July 1990 Dr. Reed worked with the fragments and photographs at the Rockefeller Museum.  A Dorot Fellowship made it possible for Dr. Reed to work on the project from March to July 1989 at the ABMC and spend a year in Jerusalem working on revising and updating these lists.  The Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center has provided funding for work at the Center from August 1990 through June of 1991.  Additional funding has been made available since July 1991 by grants from the Dorot Foundation, the Annenberg Institute and the National Endowment for the Humanities. 

B. Purpose of this fascicle

      Our goal is to produce a computerized database which will include information about photographs, documents and museum plates of the Dead Sea Scrolls.  A computerized database will allow scholars to conduct different searches according to their particular research needs.  

      It is our intention to make the information in the lists available to scholars as quickly as possible.  Since it will take some time before the computerized database will be complete, we have decided to compose preliminary lists about each of the particular collections (such as Cave 1, the Minor Caves and Mird) and make these lists available to interested people in photocopy form.  We wish to emphasize that these lists are still preliminary.  The final database will include more information.    

      Much care has been taken to ensure that the information in these lists is accurate, but inevitably errors easily enter such a work.  We would be appreciative if you would contact us with errors you find or additional information about the Mird photographs at the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center, Box 670, Claremont, CA 91711.  (714) 621-6451.  Fax number: 714-621-1481.

C. Assistance for Work

      The production of these lists has involved the skills of many people.  Over the years some preliminary and partial lists were produced by the original editors and by museum officials.  The most comprehensive lists before I began my work were prepared by Elisha Qimron in 1981.  Further updates were added in 1985 to these lists by Qimron and John Strugnell.  All of these lists were made available to me by John Strugnell when I began updating the materials.  I wish to acknowledge their contribution without which my work would have been far more difficult. 

      The Israel Antiquities Authority staff at the Rockefeller Museum helped me find appropriate fragmentary and photographic materials at the museum.  Joe Zias, Curator, gave me access to the materials.  Ruth Peled, Marcia Sharabani and Donald Ariel also provided assistance.  Ayala Sussmann and Ronny Reich allowed me access to the photographs.  Magen Broshi, Curator of the Shrine of the Book, aided us in finding particular plates that had been moved to the Shrine of the Book for storage or conservation.  The members of the Advisory Committee, composed of Amir Drori, Ayala Sussmann, Jonas Greenfield, Magen Broshi and Shemaryahu Talmon, have provided editorial assistance in the overall preparation of these lists.   

      The staff of the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center helped me obtain access to the materials, provided administrative help, guidance and advice.  James A. Sanders has provided overall direction for the project.  Former directors, Peter Pettit and Steve Delamarter, as well as the current acting director, Bruce Zuckerman, and Marilyn Lundberg, Associate Director, have provided much support. 

      Editors of the materials have provided a great deal of information.  John Strugnell, international editor in chief while I was in Jerusalem, provided help in updating these lists and answering various questions that I had that arose while working on them.   

      Every item of the lists here has been checked and

verified by us at the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center or

in Jerusalem at the Rockefeller Museum.

I. Introduction

      Information concerning the Mird documents is arranged in three lists in this fascicle: documents, photographs and museum plates.  In the document list the documents are listed sequentially according to their designated numbers.  Included in this list are the photographs which pertain to each document as well as the present location of the fragments.  In the photograph list the photographs which pertain to Mird documents are given according to the inventory numbers assigned in the PAM photographic collection.  The museum plate list includes a list of the museum plates which contain Mird materials. 

      Since published photographs are called “plates”, it can be confusing to refer to the fragments placed between plates of glass in the museum as “plates.”  Emanuel Tov, editor-in-chief for the publication of the scrolls, prefers that the term “inventory number” be used for what is here called “museum plate.” 

      The document list is cross-referenced to the other two lists.  It is expected that scholars would first refer to this list and then if they want further information about the photographs or museum plates they can refer to the other two lists.  There is some duplication of information in the three lists but because there is often no one-to-one correspondence among documents, photographs and museum plates all three are necessary to provide all of the information that scholars may need in their research.

      The description of numbers for the Mird materials can be quite confusing and some changes have been made in numbers when the systems for enumeration were not well understood.  There are four major collections of materials including two sets of Arabic papyri and two sets of Greek papyri.  According to Grohman 31 museum plates of Arabic papyrus fragments were found by the Palestine Archaeological Museum (PAM) and 36 plates of Arabic papyrus fragments were found by the Belgian Archaeological Mission (MAB) [The numbers do not quite correspond to what I have observed at the Rockefeller Museum.]  Based on the photographs it appears that about 31 museum plates of Greek papyrus fragments were found by the MAB and 30 museum plates of Greek papyrus fragments were found by PAM.

      Each of these groups was numbered consecutively and no overall system distinguished the numbers of one group from another.  Mird 1 referred to the first museum plate in each of these groups.  There often were more than one document per plate.  The MAB Arabic papyrus museum plates subsequently received an “A” before the number: Mird A1, the PAM Arabic papyrus museum plates simply have the number by itself: Mird 1.  The MAB Greek papyrus museum plates have a “G” before the number: Mird G1, the PAM Greek papyrus museum plates simply have the number by itself.  In order to distinguish the Greek and Arabic papyrus museum plates found by PAM it seems best to add “gr” following the PAM Greek papyrus museum plates. 

      Furthermore different systems are used to refer to Recto-Verso sides of each plate.  Most of the papyrus has writing on both sides so this is an important concern.  For the PAM series Mird 27 refers to the recto side and Mird 27a refers to the verso side.  For the series of MAB Mird A5a refers to the recto side and Mird A5b refers to the verso.  Likewise for the MAB series of Greek material Mird G5a is recto, Mird G5b is verso.  For the PAM Greek series Mird 5 is recto and Mird 5B is verso.  Sometimes when there is no writing on both sides only the number with no differentiation of “a” or “b” is given: Mird G12.

      When Grohman published 100 MSS of Arabic he introduced a new system 1-100 which was based on documents and not museum plates.  It seems best to keep this system distinct from the above plate lists.  These document numbers are prefaced by Groh 1, etc.  These numbers should not be confused with the earlier museum plate numbers.  Some corrections of earlier lists were made in which the Grohman numbers have replaced the old numbers.  That is only appropriate when all the fragments on a museum plate have been published, which is not that frequent.  It is possible to correlate Grohman’s numbers with the earlier museum plate numbers as he does in his book.  Thus Groh 1 is A33a1, Groh 2 is A1a1.  The last number, then, in each of A33a1 and A1a1 refers to a fragment number on a museum plate.

      Since it is not easy to determine the number of each fragment on a museum plate is has seemed best to retain all of the old museum plate numbers as well as the Grohman numbers.  Grohman has published some MSS from each of the three groups above (Some of the Greek papyrus manuscripts have Arabic on one side).  Although Grohman did publish the largest Arabic fragments there are still many of the smaller ones which were not published.

      In addition to the above three collections from Mird, there are also some museum plates of parchment written in Greek and Christian Palestinian Aramaic.  These museum plates do not seem to have been numbered together in a system.

      In the Rockefeller Museum these museum plates were arranged in a series along with other inscriptional materials found throughout the Judean desert.  They ended up being placed as museum plates 53,656-657,1172-1263.  Some 61 Greek museum plates are presently in Belgium. 

      Robert Donceel, Prof. Secr‚taire acad. du d‚partement d’arch‚ologie et histoire de l’art (ARKE) at Louvain-la-Neuve, has been compiling the archaeological data on the Khirbet Mird material.  He informed me by letter that the details of the distribution and care of the Greek papyri museum plates are still being discussed between the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium.  Monsignor De Langhe assigned the publication of the Greek texts to Father van Haelst.  The Christian Palestinian Aramaic texts were assigned to Father Baillet.  These texts remain unpublished and they may be reassigned by the Belgians in the future. 

      In the Rockefeller Museum, cabinet 7 drawer 2 is labeled museum plates 1242-1263 but the museum plates within the drawer are not so numbered but range from 2-21.  Museum plates 4 and 6 of the series are missing.  I have followed that order as closely as possible in continuing the series 1242-1263.  If one adds 1240 to the old numbers (2-21) on the museum plates one gets the present numbers (1242-1263).  Since the two museum plates upstairs for Mird 13 and Mird 31B were not numbered into either series these two museum plates were used to fill the gaps of museum plates 4 and 6 mentioned as missing above.  Mird 13 was used for museum plate 1244 and Mird 31B for museum plate 1246.

I. DOCUMENTS

   A. Arabic

      Grohman published 100 Arabic documents but six of these do not have photographs published of them (Grohmann, A., Arabic Papyri from Hirbet el-Mird (BibliothŠque du Mus‚on 52; Louvain: Publications Universitaires, 1963). Fitzmyer indicates the sigla for these documents as papMird 1-100 but this is confusing as is indicated above.

      Grohman has helpful tables at the back of his book which correlate the numbers of the published documents with the Mird inventory numbers and the plate numbers in Grohman’s book.  The following document list will be based upon this list with the new Rockefeller numbers and photograph numbers added as well.  

      It was not possible to find museum plates corresponding to the following documents.  Some of them are on the back of Greek documents which are in Belgium.  Others are documents which did not have photographs published.
