| Title: Josephus and the Authorship of WAR 2.119-161 (On the Essenes) Pages: 207-221 Type: Generic Year: 1994 Abstract: "ZGB 41 (1995/1996), 269: Es ist anzunehmen, daß Josephus Quellen für die Beschreibung der Essener bemühte, die auch Philo bekannt waren. - // The style of War 2:119-161 - as regards its use of ten Josephan test-words (ga/r, de/, e)p,, kai/, me/n, mh/, ou/, pro/j, u(po/ ) - is demonstrably Josephan. The position of H. E. Del Medico that the passage was interpolated after the time of Josephus lacks stylometric support. Even if Josephus used source material while writing War 2:119-161, he rewrote it significantly, i.e. to the level of skeletal sentence structure. - D.J.H."
