Physiognomy and Eschatology: Some More Fragments of 4Q561

Søren Holst, Jesper Høgenhaven

Abstract

Text, translation and discussion of previously unpublished fragments of "4Q561 Physiognomy". The content of the newly published fragments is of a narrative, and possibly eschatological nature, in contradistinction to the physiognomic divination in the previously known ones, causing the authors to consider whether two distinct documents are in evidence.
