Abstract: 

The material reconstruction of 1QHodayota has progressed for many decades and there remain areas of the reconstruction that need further work, especially among the fragment placements in columns I-VIII. This article proposes placements for fragments 10-13, 16, 21, 23, 34, 42, A6 and frg. M in 1QHa. These new placements change the delimitation of psalms in columns I-VIII and raise the possibility that a psalm previously unattested in 1QHa is found in columns III-IV. I will discuss the implications of the new fragment placements for the contents of the psalms and their relevance for the shape of the 1QHa collection.

La reconstruction matérielle de 1QHodayota a progressé depuis de nombreuses décennies et certaines parties de la reconstruction doivent encore être travaillées, en particulier les placements des fragments dans les colonnes I-VIII. Cet article propose des placements pour les fragments 10-13, 16, 21, 23, 34, 42, A6 et frg. M dans 1QHa. Ces nouveaux placements changent la délimitation des psaumes dans les colonnes I-VIII et suggèrent qu’un psaume précédemment non attesté dans 1QHa se trouve dans les colonnes III-IV. Je discuterai les implications des nouveaux placements de fragments pour le contenu des psaumes et leur pertinence pour la forme de la collection 1QHa.
