dear friends,

at the encouragement of some peers, i've decided to write up a piece on
the hurvitz argumentation. i hope to have a draft for review up by the end
of the week.

in the meantime, one of the ironies of his studies, i think, is that by
arguing against the Wellhausen scheme, and correctly (!), his results are
also compatible with the minimalist scheme. using documents to show the
distinction, and assuming E2=P, and that D is ca. 600, and that
necessarily J < E:

(1) (traditional) J < E1 < E2 < D
(2) (Wellhausen) J < E1 < D < E2

hurvitz can be shown to be arguing that E1 < E2, necessarily, with no
intercalation... which is probably correct. he says that implies (1) and
only (1). however, (3) is also a logical possibility (and in my opinion,
probably correct):

(3) (minimalism) D < J < E1 < E2

just a thought for the week. ;-)

salaam/shalom,
V--
