A very good attempt by Levine to define the nature of this literary argument. But is it an improvement on what we know already from Guthkelch (1908) ? Hardly.To quote Bentley's own words, especially his rare ones, requires due care and attention. So on p.257 we find "defoederation" instead of the correct "defoedation", ironically a word introduced by Bentley to describe a serious defilement of literary usage.
