88 Chapter 4: Technical Aspects of Scroll Writing For SP, the following numbers of lines are known, listed by Anderson, Studies, 15–44: CW 2478b 12–13 (15.5 cm) CW 10311 23 (21 cm) CW 2483 24 (17.5 cm) CW 2484 33 (26 cm) CW 2473 34 (28 cm) CW 2482 36 (10.9 cm) CW 2481 38 (31.6 cm) CW 2478a 41 (28 cm) Consistency in the height of columns (number of lines). Usually scrolls were written with the same number of lines per column throughout a sheet and generally throughout all the sheets, but TABLE 17 shows that some scrolls display slight variations. For bibliographical details, see TABLE 15. In some cases, it is unclear whether the columns had a different number of lines. TABLE 17: Inconsistency in the Number of Lines 4QprEsth a ar (4Q550) 7, 8 (5.8 cm) 4QprEsth d ar (4Q550c) 7, 8 (6.0 cm) 4QCal Doc/Mish B (4Q321) 8, 9 (7.7–8.5 cm) 4QApocr. Psalm and Prayer (4Q448) 9, 10 (9.5 cm) 4QLam 10, 11 (11.8 cm) 4QapocrLam A (4Q179) 13, 15 (8.2 cm) 4QpapTob a ar (4Q196) 13 (frg. 2: 17.0 cm), 16 (frgs. 17 ii, 18: 18.7 cm); same scroll? 4QCant b 14, 15 (9.9 cm) 4QDan c 16, 17 4QPs b 16, 18 (14.0 cm) 4QInstr b (4Q416) 21, 22 (16.5 cm) 11QT a (11Q19) See TABLE 15 4QSam c 23, 25 (21 cm) 4QPs f 23–25 4QD a (4Q266) 24, 25 (18.4–19.2 cm) 4QEn g ar (4Q212) 25–26 (19.0 cm) 11QPs a 25, 26 (25–26 cm; reconstructed) 4QPs e 15, 20 25, 26 1QS 26, 27 (24.5 cm) 4QInstr c (4Q417) 27, 28 (20.0–21.5 cm) 1QIsa a 28–32 (24.5–27 cm) 4QNum b 30–32 (30 cm; both reconstructed) 4QJer a 30–32 (28.6–30.2 cm) 4QKgs 30–32 11QEzek 31, 32 (21.5 cm) 4QpaleoExod m 32, 33 (35 cm) 11QPs d 32–34 4QRP b (4Q364) 39–41 (c. 35.6–37.2 cm) 1QH a 41, 42 (32 cm) 4QSam a 42–44 (30.1 cm) 8H≥evXIIgr 42–45 (35.2 cm) 4QRP c (4Q365) 43–47 (34.1–36.2 cm) 4QpaleoGen-Exod l 55–60 (38 cm) The details in TABLE 17 show that adjacent sheets may contain different numbers of lines even though the dimensions of the leather are identical. In these cases the line-spacing or the size of the lower margins is different in the two sheets.
Scribal Practices and Approaches Reflected in the Texts from the Judean Desert 89 • 11QT a (11Q19) XLVIII (25, 26 lines) at the end of the sheet compared with col. LIX (28 lines) on the following sheet. • 1QIsa a XXVII (29 lines) at the end of the last sheet written by scribe A compared with col. XXVIII (31 lines) on the following sheet (illustr. 6) inscribed by scribe B. • 4QToh A (4Q274) written in columns of 9 lines until the end of the first sheet (frgs. 1, 2, 3 i), compared with the following sheet, frg. 3 ii with a densely written column (12 lines extant, 14 lines reconstructed; J. Baumgarten, DJD XXXV, 99 reconstructs 12 lines). • 4QInstr d (4Q418) 103 i has one line more than col. ii. • 4QCal Doc/Mish B (4Q321) has 8 lines in cols. I–III but 9 lines in cols. IV–VI. Similar differences between columns are visible in classical compositions. Schubart, Das Buch, 62 noted that classical compositions frequently differ in column height with differences of up to 5–8 lines. Among other things, Schubart refers to a papyrus roll of the Ilias in which the longest column contains 63 lines, while the shortest one has 42 lines. C7erny, Paper, 20 notes similar variations in Egyptian papyrus scrolls, in one instance as much as 8 to 14 lines in a 16 cm-high papyrus (P.Berlin 3023 [‘Eloquent Peasant’]). The recto and verso of a scroll could be inscribed with compositions of different dimensions. See ch. 4b1. Most columns start at the same level, while some have a larger or smaller number of lines than those adjacent. There are hardly any known compositions in which a column starts one or more lines above the level of the others on the same sheet. However, the barely legible first column of 4QMeditation on Creation B (4Q304) seems to start one line higher than col. ii, but this line probably served as a superscription. Different manuscripts of the same composition were often written on scrolls of differing sizes, although in some cases a certain regularity is visible. Since these data are only available for some compositions (TABLE 18), conclusions made on the basis of the following list must be tentative. The measurements listed below refer to the column height expressed by the number of lines ruled and usually inscribed, and not to its width which may vary considerably. The items in TABLE 18 are arranged in ascending order of line numbers. Fuller data on the reconstructions are provided in TABLE 15. TABLE 18: Number of Lines in Different Manuscripts of the Same Composition Biblical Scrolls 4QGen d 11 (10.8 cm) 4QGen g 14 (11.4 cm; slightly reconstructed) 4QGen f 17 (13.5 cm) 4QGen j c. 24 4QGen c c. 25 (14.2+ cm) 4QGen-Exod a c. 36 4QGen b 40 (28 cm) SdeirGen c. 40 (27.6–33.4 cm) 4QGen e c. 50 (J.
