Gerard Gertoux (born on March 19, 1955 in Lyon) is a French chronologist,[1][2] historian and researcher in the field of Near Eastern archaeology[3] and Ancient History,[4] particularly Egyptian,[5] Assyrian,[6] Jewish, and research on the Tetragrammaton YHWH.[7]
With his research on the name of God YHWH, Gertoux is one of the leading albeit minority who defended that one of the several ancient vocalizations of the tetragrammaton was Yehowah,[8] contra the mainstream consensus that it was only Yahweh.[9][10] According to Hermann Hunger Gertoux's chronologies of ancient history have also refuted and offered new conclusions.[11]
Life
editGérard Gertoux was born on March 19, 1955[4] in the 7th arrondissement of Lyon.[12]
At the age of 24, on July 6, 1979, Gertoux graduated Engineering physics from the École nationale supérieure d'ingénieurs électriciens de Grenoble (I.N.P.G.),[13][14] and studied physical spectrometry at the laboratory of the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), as a D.E.A. student under the tutelage of professors Yves Ayant and Élie Belorizky with the thesis: études expérimentales et théoriques par spectrométrie RMN de composés magnétiques de terres rares.[15] Gertoux continued his studies and obtained the Certificat d'aptitude au professorat de l'enseignement du second degré (CAPES) in Physics to become a certified professor. In 1982, Gertoux joined the Sacred Name Movement.[16][17] In 1983, he began teaching at the French Ministry of Education.[13]
As an independent scholar, Gertoux began to conduct in-depth academic research on the Tetragrammaton.[13][7] He frequented the specialists of the Sources Chrétiennes of Lyon and those of CATAB (Centre d'Analyse et de Traitement Automatique de la Bible à Villeurbanne), and after years of research, Gertoux conclusions were in line with those of most of the specialists: the vocalization Yahweh, although uncertain, seemed the most probable. However, some scholars such as Philippe Cassuto told him that they did not agree that the vowels of adonay (a, o, a) give rise to those of Jehovah (e, o, a) by grammatical rule, although this false theory is written everywhere.[18] To facilitate access to biblical manuscripts preserved in ancient collections, Gertoux created the Association Biblique de Recherche d'Anciens Manuscrits in 1991.[19][20] To deepen his research and ancient languages, Gertoux used to consult Christian Amphoux for Greek, Ursula Schattner-Rieser for Aramaic, Jean-Claude Haelewyck for masoretic Hebrew, Georges Bohas for the Semitic language, and also Joseph Trinquet and Henri Cazelles helped him.[21] Gertoux studied Hebrew at the Académie des langues anciennes with Élie Cohen in 1992. The following year, 1993, Gertoux studied at the Sessions des Langues Bibliques with Jean Margain (one of its founders along with Christian Amphoux).[22]
Other specialists provided comments to Gertoux: on the Ugaritic André Caquot, on the Old Babylonian Jean Bottéro, on the lack of foundation of the pronunciation Yahweh David N. Freedman, on the faithfulness of the masoretic text Bernard Barc, on the prejudices and taboos concerning the vocalization of the name Jean Margain, on the fact that the qeré of the tetragram was SHeMa and not 'aDoNaY Thomas Römer, on the fact that the divine name was pronounced Iaô in the 1st century BCE Dominique Barthélemy, on some erroneous references Étienne Nodet, on the plurality of vocalizations of the tetragram Colette Sirat, on the vocalization Y(e)houa of the tetragram written in hieroglyphics Jean-Claude Goyon which should be transcribed yh-w3 Jean Leclant, on the phonetic variations of ancient Hebrew Ziony Zevit, on Sumerian Florence Malbran-Labat, on the dating of Christian papyri Christian Amphoux, on the antiquity of the Septuagint Claude Tresmontant, on the fact that the inscription: eu-wa te-o-se in Cypriot syllabary may correspond to Yehowa Théos Pierre Grelot, etc.[21]
After years of research into the name of God, in 1995 Gertoux completed his work Un nom incens: un historique du nom divin de son origine à sa reconstitution.[23] Two years later, in 1997, he completed his second work יהוה: an aim to incense: a historical record of the divine Name.[24] In 1998, Henri Cazelles submitted Gertoux's third thesis entitled יהוה in Fame Only: A historical record of the divine name to the library of the Institut catholique de Paris (Bibliothèque oecuménique et scientifique d'études bibliques BOSEB), under the acronym T594GER.[25][26][27] After receiving comments for his thesis on the name of God by André Chouraqui, Edward Lipiński, Shelomo Morag, Daniel Faivre, Mireille Hadas-Lebel, Marguerite Harl, Jacques Duquesne, and Josy Eisenberg,[28] Gertoux decided to publish his findings formally in a book, which was entitled: Un Historique du nom divin: Un Nom Encens, by Editions L'Harmattan in 1999.[29] Gertoux studied Hebrew again in 2001 at the Institut des Langues Anciennes of the École normale supérieure de Lyon with Jean-Claude Haelewyck and Georges Bohas. Gertoux received further comments of his research from Ernest John Revell, Elizabeth Livingstone, Takamitsu Muraoka, Bruce M. Metzger, Pierre Grelot, Dan Jaffé, Jean Delumeau, George Wesley Buchanan, Guy Rachet, Charles Perrot, Alfred Kuen, Nehemia Gordon, etc.[21][30] Un Historique du nom divin: Un Nom Encens was translated into English as The Name of God Y.eH.oW.aH Which is pronounced as it is Written I_Eh_oU_Ah. Its Story, published in 2002 by the University Press of America, with minor updates and an expanded appendix.[31][32][33]
In 2004, Gertoux obtained a Master's degree in Archaeology and History of Ancient Worlds from the Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée (MOM),Lumière University Lyon 2, with a dissertation entitled L'œil de l'histoire: la chronologie. Les éclipses dans l'antiquité: approche scientifique d'une chronologie absolue under the supervision of professors Yves Roman and Michel Debidour.[34] In 2004, he also studied Hebrew at the Laboratoire Histoire et Sources des Mondes Antiques (HISOMA) with professor Dominique Gonnet. In 2005,[35] Gertoux continued his doctoral studies in archaeology and history of the ancient world at the Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée, Université Lumière-Lyon-II,[36][37] with his thesis Les conjonctions dans l'antiquité comme les éclipses: approche scientifique d'une chronologie absolue (HCL TM 104 at the MOM library) under the supervision of Pierre Villard,[38][39] and the defense of the dissertation with the six jurors was scheduled for December 2007.
In September 2007 the defense was canceled, when the university becomes aware of Gertoux's religious affiliation.[40] Some of the jury didn't even want to talk to him anymore, but Pierre Villard tried to support him by personally recommending his thesis for transfer to another university, and Daniel Bodi of the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (INALCO) agreed to supervise his thesis, but in 2009,[41] the INALCO refused to accept him as a transfer, even though he received the agreement of a research director and two of his original jurors.[42] The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the Coordination des Associations & Particuliers pour la Liberté de Conscience and Human Rights Without Frontiers reported that "on 10 February 2011 the Administrative Court of Paris (Dossier n°: 0918003/7-3) refused to validate his complaint to religious discrimination".[43][42] Gertoux says that the "MIVILUDES has indoctrinated everyone against minority movements" and he is on the black list.[42]
The dissertation was rejected, but Gertoux has been invited to present his proposals at different conferences: in 2011 Gertoux presented at the University of Edinburgh on the topic A New Achaemenid King: Darius B, owing to Synchronized Chronology.[44] In 2012, Gertoux retired from French national teaching and, in the same year, became a member of the International Association for Assyriology, where he presented his doctoral thesis.[45] At the University of Oxford, he presented his article Assyrian and biblical chronologies: are they reliable? in 2015.[46] In the same year, he gave a presentation at the University of Geneva on Dating the Reigns of Xerxes and Artaxerxes, which was published in volume 40 of Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis. Archaeologica series.[47] In 2019, Dominique Charpin has invited Gertoux to the 65th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale at the Collège de France to present a summary of his doctoral thesis.[48] Also in 2019, Jonathan Rosenbaum has invited Gertoux to the 2019 annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR) in the session: Archaeology and Biblical Studies to give a lecture of his thesis.[49]
From 2019 to 2021, Gertoux has published articles in the journal Nouvelles Assyriologiques Bréves et Utilitaires (NABU), published by the Société pour l'étude du Proche-Orient (SÉPOA).[50][51][52][53]
Reception
editThe name YHWH
editGertoux's book The Name of God Y.eH.oW.aH Which is Pronounced as it is Written I_Eh_oU_Ah. It Story, is cited in reference works such as The Encyclopedia of Christianity,[9] the Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity[54] and the Μεγάλη Ορθόδοξη Χριστιανική Εγυκλοπαίδεια (ΜΟΧΕ) [Great Orthodox Christian Encyclopedia][55].
Robert J. Wilkinson says that Gertoux has strong views on the pronunciation and meaning of the Tetragrammaton.[56] George W. Buchanan agrees with Gertoux that the divine name is arbitrarily pronounced as Jehovah on the basis of the data.[27] Aviv Schoenfeld says that he adopts "the (albeit minority) view that one of its ancient vocalizations was yəhōwɔ̄ (Gertoux 2015), contra the mainstream consensus that it was only yahwɛ".[57] Bruce M. Metzger says that Gertoux's website contains "scholarly information on the origins of sacred names".[58] François Bœspflug states that Gertoux's research provided him with valuable information.[59] Daniel Faivre wrote that Gertoux's work is a more comprehensive study.[60] Antonio Macaya Pascual points out that Gertoux provides ample evidence that the name YHWH was actually pronounced until the 2nd century AD.[61] Jean Vernette at the beginning of his book on Cults explained that 'Jehovah' was a barbarism, but already in the sixth and last edition of his book (January 2002) he withdrew the explanations used to defend Yahweh, and wrote that it is clear that some people defend the pronunciation of Jehovah, quoting Gertoux in a footnote.[62] P. D. Vasileiadis also considers the work of G. Gertoux as a source that presents an overview of the long-standing efforts to translate the Tetragrammaton into Greek.[63] Roberto Guidotti says that others, such as the scholar Gérard Gertoux, argue convincingly that the correct pronunciation is Jehovah.[64] Didier Fontaine says that "Gertoux gives more than twenty 'explanations' (p.64) that make you think".[65] Charles Perrot told him in a letter that "the remarks on the pronunciation of YHWH seem to me very pertinent, even if, at present, it is in practice a little difficult to 'back off'".[66]
- Book Reviews
Brigitte Sion says that the Gertoux study invites you to think about it.[29] John Gee is of the opinion that Egyptian and Akkadian evidence is ignored, that the Masoretic vowels have a later pronunciation and that the letter method is not applicable.[67] Gertoux responds, and says that Gee did not even read the book, and his unsubstantiated claims are not explained in his criticism.[68] Won W. Lee affirm: "this detailed treatment of the Name is useful for those who are interested in the history of its translation of the centuries".[31] Philippe Barbey considers Gertoux's research to be a comprehensive work.[69]
Ancient history
editGertoux created Egyptian, Assyrian and biblical chronologies which, according to Hermann Hunger,[70] Gertoux "offers new conclusions or refutes chronologies proposed by other scholars". Gertoux have integrated astronomical synchronization into their chronologies.[71]
The Armstrong Institute of Biblical Archaeology mentions that Gertoux's research presents a remarkable body of evidence for the historicity of the book of Esther, and even the historicity of Queen Esther.[72] Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones disagrees: "Esther is not a history book and it does not contain history per se (in spite of the valiant effort by Gérard Gertoux (2015) to fix Esther's narrative precisely in time)."[73] Albertus Pretorius is of the opinion that Gertoux created a reliable chronology of the life of Jesus.[74] Paul Finch believes that Gertoux has provided excellent evidence that Carthage was founded in 870 BC.[75] Kenneth C. Griffith and Darrell K. White considers "Gertoux's chronology of the Kings of Aram to be the most accurate".[76] Egiptologist Claude Obsomer mentions that Gertoux sent him valuable information.[5] For Nicholas P. Lunn, Gertoux's article "Dating the Two Censuses of P. Sulpicius Quirinius" is convincing.[77] Ola Wikander says that "A recent publication supporting the identification with Tudḫula (which ultimately goes back to T. G. Pinches in 1897) is Gérard Gertoux, Abraham and Chedorlaomer: Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence (sineloco,2015), 34 (etpassim). One may note with some interest that Sayce actually suggests identifying Tudḫaliya with the Tudḫula of the Spartoli tablet sin his early comment (or Tudghula, as he writes the latter), and indeed uses that purported identification as a step in arguing the connection between the Hittite name and Genesis 14!"[78] David A. Fiensy recommends the list of dates compiled by Gertoux in his book Dating Shoshenq's Campaign.[79]
According to Giuseppe Veneziano "the dating of Herod's death has become the center of a sometimes heated academic controversy".[80] G. Veneziano describes several views by different scholars in which they propose that Herod's death was in 4 BCE or 1 BCE.[80] G. Veneziano continues and claims that in 1 BCE "is supported, inter alia, by W. E. Filmer (Filmer 1966), A. E. Steinmann (Steinmann 2009), and by Gerard Gertoux (Gertoux s.d.)", and he adds: "however, Josephus himself, although very precise in describing the events, is a little less precise in their chronological framework and - as G. Gertoux (Gertoux 2010) recalls - provides us with at least a dozen information that contribute to making it inadequate or doubtful this date".[80] Then G. Veneziano follows to A. Steinmann and G. Gertoux: "this and other anachronisms, widely discussed by Gertoux and by Steinmann in their writings (complete with schematics), would seem to demonstrate how the date of 1 BC it is more coherent than that which places Herod's death in 4 BC. However, without preconceptions, we now evaluate both hypotheses also from an astronomical and biblical point of view".[81]
