Connect War Scroll, Genesis Apocryphon and Damascus Document witnesses with editions and image references.
Keep the physical witnesses separate
T-S 10K6, T-S 16.311 and 4Q271 are three distinct Damascus Document witnesses. Their connections belong in a concordance. Do not merge them into one supposedly complete ancient object. The War Scroll 1QM and Genesis Apocryphon 1Q20 have different work identities and edition histories.
An edition is a route, not a completed collation
The relevant English editions have been identified, but full edition access and exact passage matching remain open in this review. When access is obtained, record the translated page and the source manuscript unit together. Preserve damaged wording and editorial reconstruction in separate fields.
Follow the image numbering into the edition
IAA’s image system and scholarly manuscript-fragment numbering are different conventions. A plate can contain material from several witnesses. The useful next result is a small concordance that another reader can check: image identifier, manuscript, edition fragment, column, line and translated location.
The assessments below identify the current research boundary. No full transcription, new manuscript translation or whole-corpus completion claim is implied.

03 · TRANSCRIPTION
Source-language reading
The exhibition credits J. Baumgarten’s Hebrew transcription. Gaps, uncertain readings and supplied wording are part of its presentation.
04 · TRANSLATION
Edition and coverage
Library of Congress displayed lines 4–7 checked, transcription and translation J. Baumgarten. Later DJD fragment/column concordance and full edition access remain pending.
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.
The reviewed register does not yet map every plate, fragment, column and line to an edition.

What was reviewed
Matthew Walsh’s own research summary and quotation were inspected. The complete 1962 edition and manuscript image were not independently collated. This is a selected passage review, not a whole-witness completion claim.
English status: A relevant English edition is identified; full edition access or the requested passage has not been obtained for this review.
Baseline review: 5 November 2026 · Selected Enoch language and image checks updated 9 November 2026 · English is the assessment language. This is a selection of 58 distinct witness/object leads, not a worldwide census or a completed translation audit. Physical losses and other-language evidence are recorded separately.
