Interesting. But please leave the sources (JEDP etc) out of your
study! Or bring them in only at the end...

Why do I ask this? It is clear that this division into sources is not
(or no longer) accepted by all as an assured results of scholarship -
note that about the only thing Ian and I can agree on is that JEDP is
dead! So if you presuppose JEDP in your work, your work becomes
valueless for that body of scholars who do not accept this
presupposition. But if and only if you do not presuppose it, scholars
(including you yourself) could use the results of your study as
valuable material for confirming, invalidating or nuancing the
documentary hypothesis.

dear b-haverim,

wanted to throw the general results out for some comment, though i can't
give out the details till i get something in press.

been assembling every sort of formal feature i can think off, as a sort of
biblical dialect geography. there are four major, distinct bundles:

Torah Prophets Sources
1. leviticus isaiah/amos P
2. deuteronomy jeremiah/ezekiel D
3. gen/exodus zechariah J/E
4. ezra-neh/chronicles/Writings (and with own internal continuum)

interesting that most psalms are #4. also for eg., 2sam9-20 (!)

i'm thinking that this will come out as individual studies, but maybe
brought together as a monograph in a couple of years <sigh>.

thoughts? ;-)

cheers
