| Summary: | The authors discuss the text, language and contents of the first of the Songs of David, found in the Cairo Genizah. This song is an alphabet acrostic, praising God's loyalty towards King David. Comparison with other Jewish writings led to the conclusion that this psalm could well originate in the later period of Qumran. This period had a positive attitude to King David and is known for its production of liturgical manuscripts. The authors assume that the Songs of David found their way from Qumran to Cairo, as did CD, and suggest the siglum CšD (šîrē Dawîd). Les auteurs analysent le texte, la langue et le contenu du premier des Chants de David qui ont été retrouvés dans la Guéniza du Caire. Ce chant, un acrostiche alphabétique, loue Dieu pour sa loyauté envers David. Une comparaison avec d'autres écrits juifs suggère que ce cantique a été composé durant la phase la plus récente de la Communauté de Qumrân. Durant cette période il y avait une attitude positive envers le roi David et une production importante de manuscrits liturgiques. Les auteurs présument que les Chants de David ont voyagé de Qumrân au Caire tout comme CD, et ainsi proposent le sigle CšD (šîrē Dawîd). |
