A new biography of John M. Allegro by Judith Anne Brown is scheduled for publication this year. If interested see: http://www.eerdmans.com/shop/product.asp?p_key=0802828493
Some time ago I read or heard that Philip R. Davies was writibg a biography of Allegro. If Philip reads this, perhaps he can update us. P. Davies wrote "History and Hagiography: The Life of the 'Teacher' in Hymn and _Pesher_" pp. 87-105 in Behind the Essenes and Ideology in the DSS (1987). I note that some matters left unresolved there are solved by recognizing the "wicked priest" as Jannaeus and the teacher as Judah the Essene teacher. For example, on page 101 there is some concern that in pNah Demetrius may not be a contemporary, "on nearly all modern recokonings." But in my reckoning, joined by many other modern reckonings, they are contemporary. best, Stephen Goranson _______________________________________________ g-Megillot mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot
