This paper discusses the different approaches of Devorah Dimant and Florentino GarcÃa MartÃnez towards categorisation and classification of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and applies their views to Apocryphon of Jeremiah C, a text constructed and edited by Dimant which she found difficult to classify, and which she related to Jubilees, the Animal Apocalypse, and the Damascus Document.

See, however, F. Zanella, â âSectarianâ and âNon-Sectarianâ Texts: a Possible Semantic Approach,â RevQ 24/93 (2009): 19-34, who seems to support Dimant, but actually goes on quite a different track. Zanella does not focus on the terminology of a core group of texts, but on the semantics of terms belonging to specific lexical fields. On the basis of his research on the semantic field of the substantives denoting âgift,â which showed semantic innovations that are limited to those texts that are sectarian according to Dimantâs approach, he proposes that semantic analysis can play an important heuristic role in isolating specific so-called functional languages and corpora of texts, including that of a â âsectarianâ idiolect.â This kind of approach does not per se depend on specific assumptions about a Qumran sect, and could be used as an independent control of other approaches.
