Stephen, With regard to scribal practice in villages and small towns, see also The Documents from the Bar Kokhba Period in the Cave of Letters : Greek Papyri by Naphtali Lewis. David Suter -Original Message- From: Stephen Goranson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5/19/01 10:56 PM Subject: orion-list Puech on names; pottery neutrons; Esau; rural writing; etc. In The Papyrology of the Roman Near East: A Survey, J. of Roman Studies 85 (1995) 214-35 (here 235), H.M. Cotton et al. conclude: A considerable proportion of the documents listed here do not eminate from cities, but from country districts characterized by villages and small towns. In other words, Qumran texts need not have come from Jerusalem. Noted in this article as forthcoming and now in print is Ada Yardeni, Textbook of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Nabataean Documentary Texts from the Judaean Desert and Related Materials (Hebrew; non vidi). G. Doudna has proposed that the dates given by A. Yardeni are too late (up to 130-some years). Perhaps he could review this book and explain his alternate daing proposal.
