Dating of the Epistle of the 12 Apostles

Post by Giuseppe »

Rylands says that it is based on a Jewish document related to the 12 servants of the high priest. Therefore it is more old than Paul.

Are there more parallels than the number 12, as this number seems kind of "generic." Are any of them literary parallels?
