Abstract
In a previous study, the Author singled out physiognomonic practice by Essenes according to Flavius Josephus’ source in Ant II, 119-161. In this article, the research is extended to the Qumranic manuscript 4Q186, a parchment carrying a text whose contents is manifestly physiognomonic. In consequence of a comparison between this text and the so-called Two Spirit Treatise of 1QS, the Author argues that the expression ??? ??, utilised in 4Q186, points out the “typology” of the spirit of the individuals that are considered in this text.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
