Peter,
I haven't read Garbini's article for quite a while now, but I remember
when I was reading it, every one of his points against the authenticity
of the fragments was easily countered. In the end, I remember thinking
that I would have to specifically address his arguments in my thesis,
but the arguments made no real threat to the authenticity of the
fragments. In fact, I think he was misreading much of the evidence to
start with, but I can't quite remember exactly. I will be addressing it
farily soon, though. Perhaps when I do, I'll send a post to the forum.
Regards,
