El Corpus de Qumrán y la Reconfiguración del Texto Bíblico

El Corpus de Qumrán y la Reconfiguración del Texto Bíblico This study examines the impact of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls on biblical philology and the historiography of Second Temple Judaism. The manuscript evidence from the Judean Desert has significantly reshaped scholarly understanding of the transmission of the Hebrew Bible during the Second Temple period. The analysis demonstrates that the textual tradition of the Hebrew Scriptures in this era was characterized by a notable degree of plurality. Manuscripts discovered at Qumran preserve forms of the text that correspond to proto-Masoretic traditions, texts related to the Vorlage of the Septuagint, and other independent textual witnesses. Drawing on the methodological frameworks developed by Emanuel Tov and Eugene Ulrich, the study explores how this evidence challenges earlier assumptions regarding a single stable textual archetype. The paper concludes that the Qumran corpus illustrates a stage in which multiple textual traditions circulated within Jewish communities, highlighting the complex processes that eventually led to the stabilization of the biblical text in later periods.
