It's in two different languages, btw, which rather tells against the

Chapters 2-7 in Aramaic in the same manuscripts.)

Good gracious! I didn't realise that documentary criticism was so easy.
Let's see: I've got a copy of the Decameron in which one chapter is in
Italian (or it might be Latin), so now I know that Boccaccio was a figment
of our imagination and really the whole thing was written by several
authors. Based on this simple test I postulate at least two P.G. Wodehouses
(Wodehice?), half a dozen Agatha Christies and I've lost count of the number
of Gibbonses.

Wow! This opens up a whole new field for me.

God bless (and bestow His gift of common sense),
