Follow the evidence
as it develops.
This log records actual publication and evidence changes for the passage studies. It does not claim that every manuscript or source was fully reread.
5 November 2026 · Research studio launched
Ten bounded passage studies were added with separate source-language, translation and interpretation fields. Comparison, citation downloads, a public corrections route and research-skills guides in six languages were published. The five non-English guide sets are editorial translations; native editorial review remains pending.
5 November 2026 · A second passage selection
Ten further selected units extend the studio to twenty studies. Four guided reading routes, six additional contextual vocabulary notes, passage search and a session-only reading notebook were added. More than one study can refer to the same physical witness; the witness denominator is unchanged.
Enoch 4Q201: Watchers, knowledge and responsibility
A credited English excerpt is located for Enᵃ I iii 13–16. The 4Q201 assessment can now link to that specific reading.
Open: Match the exhibition numbering to a selected image and the print edition; record chapter/verse concordance and examine readings beyond this short unit.
Latin Jubilees: Abram, famine and return
The inspected project files connect Jubilees 13:10–15 to original page 83 / modern palimpsest page 62.
Open: Check the photograph letter by letter and compare the print edition. This Latin witness does not settle the separate Aramaic/Hebrew Qumran fragment mappings, including 4Q216.
Damascus Document 4Q271: honest dealing
A credited translation and displayed line reference are available for this short financial-law unit.
Open: Match the exhibition fragment to the later critical edition’s fragment and column labels, then collate its photograph. Full edition access remains an independent task.
War Scroll 1QM: Michael, assistance and covenant
The selected quotation is located at 1QM XVII:5–8 with a named English edition route on p. 340.
Open: Obtain the full cited edition and check the source-language reading against the corresponding manuscript image. A whole-scroll translation audit remains open.
Moses’s prayer for understanding: Birmingham Qur’an 1572a
Qur’an 20:25–28 is mapped to the transcription’s folio 1v, lines 12–14, with named corresponding-verse English reading routes.
Open: Collate the photograph, retain correction and supplied-letter markers, and document the relation of the former combined-volume foliation to current image labels.
Abraham, the setting lights and the Creator: Qur’an 1572b
The selected sequence is on folio 5r, lines 2–9; a search URL carrying a verse parameter is not evidence that folio 4v contains that verse.
Open: Check images and correction marks, clarify the conflicting catalogue folio count, and retain the difference between the scripture translation and a complete diplomatic translation of this witness.
Venus Tablet K.160: why a complete sentence can combine witnesses
K.160’s siglum C and contribution to omen 8, lines 1′–3′, are located in the edition. The provenance of the reconstructed numbers is distinguishable.
Open: Collate C’s surviving signs against the photograph, compare the other witnesses and investigate the untranslated outcome term. A modern calendar date or cosmic epoch has not been established.
Nippur flood fragment CBS13532: building to preserve life
CBS13532 is identified in Penn Museum’s public catalogue, and reverse 6′–9′ is matched to Wasserman’s transcription and translation on p. 78.
Open: Compare the tablet photograph with the printed signs and retain the edition’s restorations. The generic source-list label “Nippur Tablet” remains ambiguous between separate Sumerian and Akkadian witnesses. No flood year is established.
Sefer Yetzirah: twenty-two letters in a joined Genizah roll
The joined-roll siglum, apparatus key and Hebrew unit A3 / §א3, p. 313 line 11, have been identified and read.
Open: Locate this unit on the individual fragment images; compare its readings with other recensions and obtain the selected Hayman pages before making an English-coverage claim.
Gospel of Thomas, Saying 3: knowing oneself and the living Father
The selected saying, Coptic edition version and separately credited English reading are identified. Their distinct translation responsibilities are explicit.
Open: Collate the codex photographs and resolve exact line numbering. A familiar citation range is not substituted for that image check, and no complete codex-wide audit is claimed.
Enoch 4Q201: speech, conduct and a damaged admonition
A separate selected unit, I ii 12–14, has a credited English exhibition reading.
Open: Match these displayed lines to the manuscript image and print edition before assigning a modern chapter/verse concordance or extending the reading beyond the excerpt.
Latin Jubilees: return, separation and a narrated year
The inspected files map Jubilees 13:16–21 to original page 84 / modern 61; Ceriani’s transcription also distinguishes columns a and b.
Open: Compare the physical page image and print edition. Text following this selected unit is incomplete, and the page mapping supplies no independently established modern date or cosmic epoch.
Damascus Document 4Q271: money, redemption and uncertain wording
The selected opening lines and their uncertainty signs are identifiable in a credited English exhibition excerpt.
Open: Obtain the critical-edition fragment/column concordance and inspect the Hebrew image. The surviving excerpt is insufficient to reconstruct the whole transaction or declare a missing participant’s intention.
War Scroll 1QM: the opening line and a community’s boundaries
The exact quotation is identified as 1QM I:1, with its named scholarly English-edition route.
Open: Locate I:1 on the source photograph and obtain the exact page in the complete Study Edition. The cited 112–145 page range is not a line-specific photographic concordance.
Qur’an 18:23–24: plans, remembrance and truthful speech
Qur’an 18:23–24 is mapped to Fedeli’s former combined-volume foliation 7r:24–7v:3.
Open: Check the source photographs, reconcile the older foliation with current image labels and retain the supplied-letter notation at the verse crossing.
Sefer Yetzirah: ten sefirot and a bounded count
A second precise Hebrew unit is identified at B1, p. 314, printed lines 23–25.
Open: Map B1 to the individual fragment photographs and compare its wording with other recensions. The English-edition coverage question remains separate.
Gospel of Thomas, Saying 26: clear sight before helping another
The digital Coptic unit n=26 and page/line labels 38:12–17 are identified alongside Mattison’s named English Saying 26.
Open: Collate the edition’s coordinate labels and Coptic readings against codex photographs, and compare critical editions where interpretations differ. No complete witness audit is claimed.
Sumerian Flood story: sunlight after the storm
ETCSL Segment D1–11 is located in transliteration and English. Poebel’s 1913 report identifies the storm-and-sunlight episode in tablet column V; Penn confirms the object and join.
Open: Match the composite’s lines to the column V photograph and reconcile older continuous-line conventions. The missing lines cannot be supplied from later retellings. Poebel’s historical dating claims are not adopted as current chronology.
Sumerian King List: the flood boundary and kingship at Kish
AN1923.444 is matched to the edition’s source WB, and composite lines 36–45 identify a bounded kingship-and-flood transition.
Open: Locate these lines on the prism’s individual face and column images, compare the underlying sign readings and preserve numerical variants. An absolute chronology requires independent dating evidence and an explicit conversion method.
