| Summary: | Among the texts found in Cave IV at Qumran are the remains of an astrological text originally over eight columns long which contained a Zodiacal calendar followed by a brontologion of which only the final part of the former and the beginning of the latter have been preserved. These texts which go back to a Vorlage known from the Mesopotamian composition MUL.APIN are the earliest evidence for this type of literature in Aramaic from the West. As such they provide a vital link in the tradition of this type of literature known previously in the West only in later Greek traditions of the Byzantine Period. Parmi les textes découverts à Qumrân se trouvent les vestiges de huit colonnes d'un texte astrologique qui comprenait à l'origine un calendrier zodiacal suivi par un brontologion. La partie finale de ce premier et le commencement de ce dernier ont été préservés. Ces textes qui remontent à une Vorlage connue par la composition mésopotamienne MUL.APIN sont une des plus anciennes traces de ce genre littéraire en araméen de l'ouest. Ils forment un maillon vital dans la tradition de ce genre littéraire connu par la tradition du grec de la période byzantine. |
