Descrição: [...] we may dismiss her claim, tak- ing as a point of departure for this discussion the commonly held assumption that the "discovered" scroll was a real artifact presented to the king and literati of Judah.7 In what follows I will examine in detail three important points pertaining to the finding of the scroll and the function of the "discovery" in the story of Josiah's reform: first, the distribution of "discovery" stories in the ancient Near East and its bearing on the biblical story; second, the verification of discovered artifacts by way of a divine oracle; and, third, the legitimation the scroll bestowed on the cult reform. [...] the five-part story in 2 Kings 22-23 was originally an independent historical short story, written in the time of Josiah in an effort to support and legitimize the cult reform that the king conducted.
