Quotes cited by Herman Witsius in his polemical treatment of Judaism in favor of Christianity, on the attitudes towards holy Scripture:
"And, the Gemara continues, the Sages sought to suppress the book of Proverbs as well because its statements contradict each other." (Talmud: Shabbat 30b)
"The Sages sought to suppress the book of Ecclesiastes and declare it apocryphal because its statements contradict each other and it is liable to confuse its readers." (Talmud: Shabbat 30b)
“The Sadducees say: ‘We complain against you, Pharisees, because you say that the Holy Scriptures defile the hands, but the books of Homer do not defile the hands.’ (Menasseh ben Israel: On the Resurrection of the Dead, Ch. 6)
