orion response to Prof. R. Altman

[Stephen Goranson <goranson@acpub.duke.edu>]

Dr. Rochelle Altman made several interesting and learned and useful
observations in the post "Autograph vs. copy." Thank you. But of the post
"Two birds...' (killed?), may I say: Yes, indeed, Origen et al. do attest
to scroll finds. E. Tov considers the scribal marks in these margins to be
pre-70 CE Qumran hands. I am open to learning more. But the scenario that a
Chinese Hebrew-reading visitor to Qumran caves, post 70 CE, would make a
few (similar-looking) marginal marks and then return 1QS and 1QIsa a to the
cave appears, to me, to tax credulity.
Cheers,
Stephen Goranson
