Abstract

THE NEW JERUSALEM: IDEAL CITY MICHAEL CHYUTIN Tel Aviv 1. The New Jerusalem Scroll ' The Aramaic scroll found in the Qumran caves and named by Milik "The New Jerusalem" 1 is a detailed description of a temple city designed upon an orthogonal grid of streets, in the tradition of orthogonal cities that began in ancient Egypt and was continued in the Greek Hippodamian cities and the Roman castrum. The reconstruction of the scroll that has been published to date is based on two pages (5Q15), which were found in a relatively complete state and were completed by Milik with the aid of another copy of the same scroll that was found in Cave 4 at Qumran and has not been published, and also fragments of the scroll that have been published only in part. In my discussion of the scroll I rely upon Milik's reconstruction and the fragments that have been published except in those cases where Milik notes that his reading is not decisive.
