The degree of either variation or agreement in like texts certainly
should play
a role. I was under the impression that 1Q28a, Megillat ha-Serakhim and
1QH, or 4Q427-432 Hodayat were attributed to the Moreh ha-Tseddik.
Although
the C14 dating of the Thanksgiving Hymns postdates the time generally
attributed to him...and apparently a copy..I have not seen a dating of
the
Rule of the Congregation. Anyone have info on that?
