- Title
<italic>Hapax Legomena</italic> in Disputed Pauline Letters: A Reassessment.
- Authors
Nes, Jermo van
- Abstract
To argue for the pseudonymity of disputed Pauline letters on the (partial) basis of their disproportional high number of <italic>hapax legomena</italic> continues to be common practice among New Testament scholars. By means of linear regression analysis, it is shown that only 1 and 2 Timothy use significantly more <italic>hapaxes</italic> than the undisputed Pauline letters. If, however, proper noun <italic>hapaxes</italic>, <italic>hapaxes</italic> taken from citations, and <italic>hapaxes</italic> which – upon removal of its preposition – have a common lexeme are not taken into consideration, it appears that none of the disputed Pauline letters use significantly more <italic>hapaxes</italic> than the undisputed Pauline letters.
