| Summary: | This article investigates the manuscript basis for the Book of Psalms prior to its appearance in modern printed editions of the Hebrew Bible according to a specific configuration of psalms to a total of 150 discrete compositions. It demonstrates that the prevailing assumption of the 150-psalm sefer tehillim as the authoritative shape of the Hebrew Psalter is not supported by the body of Hebrew manuscript evidence but is rather a product of the efforts by early modern editors to create a standard text. Sur la base d’une étude complète des manuscrits médiévaux, cet article étudie la forme de la composition du Livre des Psaumes avant son apparition dans les éditions imprimées modernes de la Bible hébraïque, selon une configuration spécifique des psaumes, pour un total de 150 compositions distinctes. Il tente de démontrer que l’hypothèse dominante des 150-psaumes sefer tehillim comme la forme autorisée du Psautier hébreu n’est pas soutenue ou établie par l’ensemble des preuves des manuscrits hébreux, mais est plutôt un produit des efforts déployés par les éditeurs, au début de l’ère moderne, pour créer un texte standard. |
