Re: [Megillot] Neil Altman on Qumran, Toronto Star

[Dierk van den Berg]

Epiphanius' half-witted Panarion is not even a tertiary source for a serious 
approach to the historicity of the DSS. Personally I have not enough 
sitzfleisch to deal with his obscure 'faces', amalgamated with a will that 
is doubtlessly off one's trolley and wholly bent on multiplication and 
ubiquity of the demon of heresy.

again tries to revive the claim that the Qumran scrolls are medieval, 
without
mentioning evidence that they date to the Second Temple Period. The 
article
explicitly misrepresents texts by Epiphanius. Etc. More details available 
if
interested.
