Deux manuscrits calendaires de Qoumrân. Le Calendrier des Signes célestes (4Q319) et le Registre annuel des Temps sacrés (4Q394a)
Abstract
The 4Q319 Otot (Signs) calendar uses the biblical calendrical instruments as well as those of the astronomical chapters of 1 Enoch and of the Book of Jubilees. Thus the names of the weeks of service, according to 1 Chronicles 24, are used to define weeks of years. Assembled in septenaries, they end up in the release years. Once more assembled by seven, these release years line up the forty-nine years of the qumranian Jubilee. Within these wordings, a special place is kept back for Gamul and Shekanyah, who identify, every third year, the Sign-Years. The function of those celestial signs concerns the triennial re-alignment of the lunar mishmaroth calendar with the true solar cycle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
