It appears my message got lost in cyber space so ill try again: pharisees
had some written texts-- the books of the hebrew bible. these were found
at qumran, they had possibly two other written texts, one a list of dates
whne fasting was forbidden, another written in biblical hebrew style
talking about the pharisees silence when a hasmonean was insulted
(Josephus seems to have the same text). tHere is possibly another
presevred in the liturgy. But pharisees were likely as antitext as were
babylonian jurists. one would expect to find as many pharisaic texts as
there are penguins in uraguay. and for the same reason
