Abstract
Material philology as an approach to the study of ancient manuscripts and their texts has grown in popularity over the past decade and its application to the study of the manuscripts of Jubilees opens for a number of important perspectives that nuance our picture of the literary development of the work. This article discusses material philology as both a theoretical position and a methodological toolbox that can both guide the study of the manuscripts and texts of Jubilees and allow for different avenues of analysis. Based on these theoretical and methodological insights, three examples are given of ways in which a material philological approach influences our understanding of Jubilees during the Second Temple Period at the level of the manuscript, text, and work.
