Facts about the "Hebrew Primacy" movement

[Dawid]

Yaaqub, I would say that some of the N'tzarim and Evionim were absorbed into the COE. Some were reabsorbed into mainstream Judaism. Thus you end up with guys like Simcha Pearlmutter, and the DuTillet Hebrew Mattai, whose Hebrew is not of a Midaeval sort. It is clearly descended from an early version, whether you think it is from the original text of Mattai or simply an early translation.
