• W350726067 abstract "From Patriarch to Priest: The Levi-Priestly Tradition from Aramaic Levi to Testament of Levi, by Robert A. KuglerThis monograph, a revision of the author's dissertation at the University of Notre Dame (directed by Professor James VanderKam), is an ambitious and a welcome project for specialists in Second Temple Judaism, biblical studies, and Jewish history. Studies on priests in Israel have been few enough, but ones with a focus on the figure of Levi are even more rare. Most research has focused on the Zadokite priesthood, apparently the regnant group throughout most of the life of the Jerusalem temple. So the numerous reverences to Levi as priest, especially in the Pseudepigrapha and now in other Qumran texts, have long invited scholarly attention to this priestly figure, and we can be very grateful to Kugler for organizing and studying the materials.Access to the Levi priestly texts has increased greatly in the last century. Previously it was possible to access the Testament of Levi, one of the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs. When some of the Cairo Genizah texts (discovered in 1896) were studied at Cambridge, an important Aramaic Levi document was recognized (considered as a possible source for the Testament of Judah!). When an additional Genizah fragment in the Bodleian Library was published in 1907, parallels to the Testament of Levi became much clearer. About the same time, R. H. Charles associated a Levi-text in Greek from the monastic library at Mt. Athos with the Genizah texts. Finally, with the discoveries at Qumran, fragments from Caves 1 and 4 provided additional material for the complex and difficult task of reconstructing an Aramaic text about Levi. Kugler's major contribution must be his attempt to sift through all these fragments of a text, considering their language and contents carefully, comparing them to what is known as the Testament of Levi, and then reconstructing an Aramaic Levi document.The figure of Levi also plays an important role in the Book of Jubilees 30-32; though his connection to the priesthood is similarly rooted in a retelling/interpretation of the rape of Dinah in Genesis 34, this tradition differs considerably from other parallel traditions. According to Kugler, this writer employed Levi in order to propose a program for Jewish priesthood after the Maccabean revolt. By contrast, the reconstructed Aramaic Levi document has far greater emphasis on purity concerns. Comparison of these two traditions suggests to Kugler an original Levi Apocryphon from which both Aramaic Levi and Jubilees drew some inspiration. …" @default.
