Baruch-written Jeremiah roll behind Jeremiah 36

This article describes an entity that is not directly attested as an extant recoverable roll; it is inferred from source-citation traces and should not be read as ordinary documentation of a surviving document.

Epistemic status

Draft article. Jeremiah 36 reports the roll and Baruch's writing role, but the roll itself is not extant here.

Summary

Jeremiah 36 describes a roll of a book written by Baruch from Jeremiah's dictation. Inferpedia treats this as a bounded scribal source surface.

What is being inferred

The inferred entity is the Baruch-written Jeremiah roll represented by the writing and dictation notice.

What is attested

The text names a roll of a book and says Baruch wrote from Jeremiah's mouth.

Why infer this entity

The source trace gives object, scribe, and transmission process, which makes it stronger than a generic book formula.

Evidence ledger

• E1, Jeremiah 36:2: primary trace for the roll of a book.
• E2, Jeremiah 36:4: primary trace for Baruch's scribal role.

Counterarguments

The narrative may authorize the prophetic words rather than document a recoverable roll.

Confidence scores

Direct attestation: 62. Existence warrant: 82. Specificity: 76. Reconstruction dependence: 74. Counterevidence: 18.

What would change the score

Specialist work on Jeremiah 36, Baruch traditions, or textual variants concerning the roll would change the score.
