| Summary: | The Aramaic Levi Document (Visions of Levi) is a priestly composition with a didactic thrust that includes into the priestly curriculum of studies metrological knowledge inspired by the schooling methods of the Babylonian scribes. The Aramaic Astronomical Book from Qumran witnesses that the arithmetical knowledge of fraction numbers is used for astronomical calculation. The article argues that the AAB belongs to the same type of school literature, together with the Visions of Levi, Admonitions of Qahat and Visions of Amram. La composition sacerdotale appelée le Document de Lévi en araméen ou les Visions de Lévi contient des traits caractéristiques d'un texte didactique inspiré par les méthodes d'apprentissage de métrologie dans la culture babylonienne. Le Livre Astronomique d'Énoch trouvé à Qumrân fait voir comment la connaissance arithmétique des fractions devient la base du calcul astronomique concernant la lune. Cet article veut prouver que le Livre astronomique fait partie du groupe des textes didactiques, tels que les Visions de Lévi, Admonitions de Qahat, et Vision d'Amram. |
