Re: orion The "villa" hypothesis
The article on locus 30 by P. Donceel-Voute in Banquets d'Orient (Res
Orientales 4, 1992) was criticized by R. Reich in JJS 46 (1995) 157-60.
That proposal and the villa proposal more generally have been criticized by
J. Magness in several conference papers and publications, including Revue
de Qumran 16 (1994) 397-419.
J.-B. Humbert of Ecole Biblique (e.g., Revue Biblique) also interpreted
Qumran differently than the Donceels.
R. Donceel wrote the Qumran article in Oxford Encyc. of Archaeology in the
Near East (1997).
