Subject: Re: [Megillot] the teacher, Judah, again
Perhaps you [i.e. Ph. Davies] have been influenced by
the false, unsupported, traditions that the Semitic Vorlage of
"Essene"/"Ossene" is not and cannot be in the scrolls? (When it is). Or the
false tradition that the
teacher is not mentioned by Jusephus? (When Judah is.)
Here we have two inductive arguments, both based upon nothing but wishful
thinking.
I tell ya, before a paradoxographical "seer-figure" (carefully spoken) like Yudah
the Essene (unclassified) plays more than a figurative, polical "message" on the
historical scene, we first have to rethink twice the "message" of Grimm's fairy tales.
