"One cannot, for example, avoid acknowledging that the scrolls are not---with the exception of the Copper
Scroll---historical autographs, but rather are copies by scribes of mostly imaginative literature; and, as another example, that dating these undated manuscripts, whose copying spanned a
period of approximately three centuries (circa 200 B.C.-circa A.D. 60), to a precise twenty-five- or fifty-year time span within that period is, by virtue of the much more extensive
practical experience of Cairo Genizah researchers attempting to assign dates to their own manuscripts, largely unjustified."
