Abstract
The chapter shows how 4QZodiac Calendar from Qumran works in relation to data in the Babylonian calendar. Using lunar data from Francesca Rochberg's Babylonian Horoscopes (Philadelphia, 1988), it suggests that the Qumran zodiac calendar is a similar version of the Babylonian calendar found in cuneiform horoscopes. The chapter is reproduced from the author' s monogragh, Zodiac Calendars in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Their Reception: Ancient Astronomy and Astrology in Early Judaism (Leiden: Brill, 2014), 99-114, with permission.
