orion Malachi Martin
Dear Colleagues: In connection with some work I'm doing I've recently been
reading Malachi Martin's 1958 study, *The Scribal Character of the Dead
Sea Scrolls*. The book is a very thorough study of scribal techniques in
some of the earliest-published scrolls. I find his discussion of the
evidence for "scribal schools" to me very illuminating. Can members of
this list point me to any major criticisms of Martin's study that have
focused on scribal technigues in light of more recent knowledge? Thanks
for any help. Marty Jaffee, U of Washington
