The Habakkuk Commentary or Pesher Habakkuk , labelled 1QpHab ( Cave 1 , Qumran , pesher , Habakkuk ), was among the original seven Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947 and published in 1951. Due to its early discovery and rapid publication, as well as its relatively pristine preservation, 1QpHab is one of the most frequently researched and analyzed scrolls of the several hundred now known.

24-416: The scroll is roughly 141 centimetres (56 in) from end to end, with thirteen columns of Herodian script written on two pieces of leather , sewn together with linen thread. Most of the columns are missing their lowest lines; the first column is nearly completely lost, and there is a hole through the center of the second column. The third chapter of Habakkuk is missing entirely from the pesher , but it

48-447: A letter -- page "B3" is the third page of the second section. In the book Humble Pi by mathematics communicator and YouTuber Matt Parker , the book uses a page numbering scheme where the pages count backwards from 314 to 0, referencing the approximation of 3.14 for the mathematical constant pi (π). E-books and other electronic documents published in a non- reflowable format such as PDF are normally paginated and numbered in

72-603: A margin, but exterior and horizontal margins are not gutters.) In some cases, column numbers are provided to improve specifying the in-source location in addition to or in absence of page numbers in serial publications , legal documents and patents . Historically, column designations were abbreviated "c" (singular) or "cc" (plural), i.e. "c130" or "cc130–136". Column width is traditionally called measure by typesetters. For best legibility, typographic manuals suggest that columns should be wide enough to contain roughly 60 characters per line. One formula suggests multiplying

96-414: A sequence of numbers (or letters, or Roman numerals) to the pages of a book or other document. The number itself, which may appear in various places on the page, can be referred to as a page number or as a folio . Like other numbering schemes such as chapter numbering, page numbers allow the citation of a particular page of the numbered document and facilitates to the reader to find specific parts of

120-417: A story. Column can also more generally refer to the vertical delineations created by a typographic grid system which type and image may be positioned. In page layout , the whitespace on the outside of the page (bounding the first and last columns) are known as margins ; the gap between two facing pages is also considered a gutter, since there are columns on both sides. (Any gutter can also be referred to as

144-648: Is a House of Absalom, which is accused of standing idle while the Man of the Lie worked against the Teacher. Unlike the others, this name is attributed only to a couple of historical figures, the most likely candidate being a supposedly Sadducean relative to Aristobulus II , named Absalom. The author of the pesher reaches a similar solution to his difficult situation as the prophet Habakkuk had centuries before: perseverance through faith. He affirms that his community will not die at

168-514: The Chicago Manual of Style calls for the beginning of the text to begin with the Arabic number 1, while the front matter that precedes it is to be numbered with lower-case Roman numerals. If the front matter is extensive and a second half-title page is included, it is to be numbered as page 1 and its verso as page 2. If a part title is included, it is to be included in the same numbering as

192-399: The front matter and back matter are numbered but the numbers are not printed. Publishers are not consistent about how they number the pages of their books. Some publishers stick with the default numbering of the tool they are using, which is typically to number the first page of the front matter as 1 and all pages after that in a consecutive order. When publishers wish to distinguish between

216-522: The point size of the font by 2 to reach how wide a column should be in picas — in effect a column width of 24  ems . Following these guidelines usually results in multiple narrow columns being favored over a single wide column. Historically, books containing predominantly text generally have around 40 lines per column. However, this rule of thumb does not apply to more complex text that contain multiple images or illustrations, footnotes, running heads, folios, and captions. Column contrast refers to

240-632: The Teacher’s opponents were the Wicked Priest and the Man of the Lie. The Wicked Priest is portrayed as a false religious leader who was at one point trusted by the Teacher. Towards the end of the pesher, the Wicked Priest is reported to have been captured and tortured by his enemies. His true identity is also unlikely to be named with certainty, though just about every contemporary Hasmonean priest has at some point been suggested by scholars as

264-460: The Wicked Priest. It is even argued that this was a title attributed to multiple individuals. The Man of the Lie is accused by the author of attempting to discredit the Teacher, as well as the Torah. His true name has likewise not yet been successfully identified with any historical figure, though Robert Eisenman argued its identification as Paul of Tarsus . Also mentioned in passing by the author

288-530: The community should follow is called the Teacher of Righteousness , a figure found in some other Dead Sea scrolls. The pesher argues that the Teacher has directly communed with God and received the true meaning of the scriptures. The Teacher has not yet been successfully identified with any historical figure, though Robert Eisenman argued its identification as James the Just in his 1997 book with that title. Among

312-407: The corresponding text. These methods were not as straightforward as using HTML tables, which made a tableless three column layout a sort of holy grail once these techniques were discovered in the early 2000s. More recent levels of CSS have addressed column behaviors, and web browser support for these behaviors continues to improve. Page number Page numbering is the process of applying

336-542: The document and to know the size of the complete text (by checking the number of the last page). Even numbers usually appear on verso (left-hand) pages, while odd numbers appear on recto (right-hand) pages. In the printing industry, in cases where odd numbers appear on verso pages and even numbers on recto pages, this is referred to as non-traditional folios (in the past, it had been referred to as Chinese folios , however this term has fallen out of favor in recent years). In books, some pages, known as blind folios , of

360-468: The front matter and the body, the initial title pages are blind folios, the front matter is numbered using lower-case Roman numerals (i, ii, iii...) and the first page of the body or main content begins with 1. The title page of the body, if present, is a blind folio; similarly, any section title pages (e.g., when the body is broken into multiple parts), are blind folios. The first page of chapter one would then be numbered as page 3. The sixteenth edition of

384-635: The hands of the wicked Judah. In turn, the power to retaliate against and judge the Kittim will be granted by God to the faithful. What is even more significant than the commentary in the pesher is the quoted text of Habakkuk itself. The divergences between the Hebrew text of the scroll and the standard Masoretic Text is startlingly minimal. The biggest differences are word order, small grammatical variations, addition or omission of conjunctions, and spelling variations, but these are small enough not to do damage to

408-410: The margin of the electronic text that indicate where the corresponding page begins in the printed version of the book. In codicology , each physical sheet ( folium , abbreviated fol. or f. ) of a manuscript is numbered and the sides are referred to as folium rectum and folium versum , abbreviated as r and v respectively. This results in designations like 5r (the front side of

432-560: The meaning of the text. Column (typography) In typography , a column is one or more vertical blocks of content positioned on a page, separated by gutters (vertical whitespace ) or rules (thin lines, in this case vertical). Columns are most commonly used to break up large bodies of text that cannot fit in a single block of text on a page. Additionally, columns are used to improve page composition and readability. Newspapers very frequently use complex multi-column layouts to break up different stories and longer bodies of texts within

456-431: The overall color or greyness established by the column, and can be adjusted in a number of ways. One way is to adjust the relationship between the width and height of the column. Another way is to make adjustments to the typeface , from choosing a specific font, to adjusting weight, style, size and leading . Column contrast can be used to establish hierarchy, to balance the page composition, and to visually activate areas of

480-503: The page. In web design , columns are often used to separate primary content from secondary and tertiary content. For example, a common two column layout may include a left column with navigation links, and a right column for body text. One method of creating columns for the web is to place text within an HTML table element , often with the border set to zero. However, this method is considered outdated and inaccessible to some. Another method includes using CSS to either float or position

504-427: The same way as their printed counterparts. While reading devices for reflowable documents such as EPUB e-books may display page numbers, these numbers change from device to device depending on factors such as the size of the display and the selected font size. This makes them unsuitable for citation purposes. To remedy this problem, Amazon Kindle e-books contain what are called "location numbers", that is, numbers in

528-529: The start of the New Testament section, which follows directly after the Old Testament . Guidelines for technical manuals, especially loose bound manuals expected to be updated, often recommend numbering pages by chapter. When numbering by chapter, page "3-2" is the second page of chapter 3, page "A-3" is the third page of Appendix A. Larger newspapers have page "numbers" that begin with

552-660: The text. Page numbers do not appear on part titles. Most citation systems call for the identification of the page number from which a quote or point is drawn. For example, such usage is specified in their citation formats of both the Chicago Manual of Style , and The Bluebook . Some printed versions of the Christian Bible , such as the New Revised Standard Version and the Jerusalem Bible , recommence page numbering with page 1 at

576-436: Was left out intentionally, not destroyed by aging (most of the last column of the scroll is blank, clearly showing that the text of the pesher was complete). Regardless, the scroll is still largely readable, and editors have filled the lacunae with reasonable confidence. The pesher relates several contemporary individuals to the scroll, though they also are only referred to with titles instead of names. The hero or leader that
