This study deals with physiognomic and astrological texts from the
Dead Sea Scrolls that represent one of the earliest examples of
ancient Jewish science. For the first time the Hebrew
physiognomic-astrological list 4Q186 (4QZodiacal Physiognomy) and
the Aramaic physiognomic list 4Q561 (4QPhysiognomy ar) are
comprehensively studied in relation to both physiognomic and
astrological writings from Babylonian and Greco-Roman traditions.
New reconstructions and interpretations of these learned lists are
offered that result in a fresh view of their sense, function, and
status within both the Qumran community and Second Temple Judaism
at large, showing that Jewish culture in Palestine participated in
the cultural exchange of learned knowledge between Babylonian and
Greco-Roman cultures.
