Summary

This project started with the observation that the extensive evidence we now have available for rewriting in Second Temple Judaism has for some time outstripped our ways of talking and thinking about the phenomenon. As the evidence for deliberate scribal alteration or redeployment of existing material in all kinds of texts and contexts has accumulated, the inadequacy of models developed in the first generations of Qumran scholarship has increasingly become apparent. Here I have tried to speed the emergence of new modes of thinking by highlighting the range of our evidence and the ways traditional categories have prevented us from making connections across that range of evidence. I have proposed at least a rudimentary new map of rewriting, both broader in the area it covers and different in the placement of the paths connecting its discrete points.
