ABSTRACT

This paper reconstructs the history of the publications relating to the results of Captain Montagu Brownlow Parker’s 1909–1911 excavations in Jerusalem, comprising the English and French versions of the book Underground Jerusalem by Père Louis-Hugues Vincent, and four articles by that same author appearing in the pages of Revue Biblique. The significant part played by the English translator, Theodore Andrea Cook, is shown, and as it transpires, he is the reason why archival materials relating to the Parker expedition eventually ended up in the Palestine Exploration Fund’s archives. Importantly, an unpublished drawing by Vincent of an Iron Age stone toilet seat, which had been referred to by the excavators as the ‘Throne of Solomon’, was found among these archival materials. The paper investigates thirteen similar parallel stone toilet seats from the Iron Age II and examines what is known concerning issues of sanitation during that period in the Kingdom of Judah.

摘要

本文重建了与蒙塔古·布朗洛·帕克船长 1909 年至 1911 年在耶路撒冷的挖掘结果相关的出版物的历史，包括由 Père Louis-Hugues Vincent 所著的《地下耶路撒冷》一书的英文和法文版本，以及同一作者出现的四篇文章在Revue Biblique的页面中. 显示了英文翻译西奥多·安德里亚·库克（Theodore Andrea Cook）所扮演的重要角色，而事实证明，与帕克探险有关的档案材料最终进入巴勒斯坦勘探基金档案的原因是他。重要的是，在这些档案材料中发现了一幅未发表的铁器时代石制马桶座的画作，挖掘机将其称为“所罗门王座”。本文调查了铁器时代 II 的 13 个类似的平行石马桶座圈，并研究了该时期犹大王国卫生问题的已知情况。
