| Resumo: | in 1965 James A. Sanders published the editio princeps of 11Q Psalmsa. This text has aroused great interest because of its unusual arrangement and contents. The order of the "canonical" Psalms found in 11Q Psalmsa diverges sharply from the sequence attested in the Hebrew Bible. In addition, scattered among these Psalms are a number of non-canonical compositions, some of which were unknown before the scroll's discovery. 11Q Psalmsa also features a sensational prose note extolling David's prophetic vision and crediting that monarch with the authorship of 4050 hymnic compositions. What accounts for the unusual arrangement and content of 11Q Psalmsa? Sanders suggested that the scroll reflects an era when the components and sequence of the Massoretic Psalter were still in flux. Others have argued that the scroll should instead be viewed as a liturgical composition. The present study interprets the document in light of the prose note mentioned above. The reference to "David" is understood to be an allusion to the eschatological descendant of Jesse expected at the End of Days. The noncanonical components of 11Q Psalmsa and the divergent sequence of Psalms are carefully examined in light of the eschatological thought of the Qumran sect and the history of Jewish liturgy. |
