/3/ F.M. Cross , 'The Structure of the Deuteronomic History', Perspectives in Jewish Learning 3, 1968. Cross since noted (Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic, 1973, p.274) a revision of his terminology, distinguishing now between first and second Deuteronomistic editions.

/4/ In an earlier published paper in OT Studies in Honor of Jacob M. Myers, 1974, pp. 33-48, Boling notes his widespread approval of Richter's analyses of the material in Judges. Richter in fact ascribes much less material to his main pre-Deuteronomistic source. This literary difference may have historical ramifications.

/10/ The note could have been borrowed by the ultimate editor from the penultimate; but other grounds must be supplied to make this likely.
