It explains how the four Gospels of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have an intertwined textual relationship to each other. It tries to analyze where the writers of Matthew and Luke got the in-common verses if they did not get them from Mark or from one another book. The chapter looks into the Church father Clement's opinion that Mark did not write down all the things that Jesus taught but only those teachings of Jesus that he thought would be helpful for the initiates into the “forbidden sanctuary.” It also mentions Morton Smith, a professor of ancient history at Columbia University, who pointed out that the location in the narrative of Mark coincides with the location of the Lazarus story in John in relation to the itinerary of Jesus's ministry.","PeriodicalId":364483,"journal":{"name":"Who Wrote That?","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125077065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explains Kurbskii's fame on engaging in an exchange of letters with Ivan IV in the second half of the sixteenth century, which he supposedly wrote after he defected. The chapter talks about Edward L. Keenan, a Harvard University professor of Russian history, who challenged the accepted attribution of Kurbskii's letters to Ivan IV and questioned their basic literacy. It highlights how Keenan wrote three articles in response to critics, only slightly altering his views to be even more sceptical that Kurbskii composed or translated anything.","PeriodicalId":364483,"journal":{"name":"Who Wrote That?","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131519699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explains that the Pentateuch is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. It also mentions the Church father Jerome's suggestion that Ezra the Priest wrote the Pentateuch in the fifth century BC based on notes made by Moses. The chapter explains that since the sixth century AD, doubts have been expressed about whether Moses was the author of all the Pentateuch. But it was only in the mid-seventeenth century that the first relatively systematic discussion of the issue appeared and by the late nineteenth century, the scholarly consensus began to turn against Moses being the author of any part of the Pentateuch.","PeriodicalId":364483,"journal":{"name":"Who Wrote That?","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133002442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines the correlation between the literary persona that is the author of the Shakespearean corpus with the historical persona that is William of Stratford.

The chapter looks into Looney's proposal that Edward de Vere is the author of the Shakespearean corpus. It also discusses the “New Criticism,” which is an approach to literature that intentionally ignores authorship or authorial intent as well as social and cultural context in favor of deep readings of the text and an aesthetic appreciation of its structure and perceived meaning.","PeriodicalId":364483,"journal":{"name":"Who Wrote That?","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134639619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also looks into the claim of a writer named Abu al-Qasim Abdallah ibn 'Ali Kashani that he was the author of the Compendium of Chronicles. The chapter analyzes the general acceptance among scholars that even if Rashid did not write every word of the Compendium of Chronicles, the entire work was at least accomplished under his direction. It discusses how the scholars' have hypothesized that Kashani was one of those writers who worked under Rashid's direction.","PeriodicalId":364483,"journal":{"name":"Who Wrote That?","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127526326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
