In some of my husband's Bibles... after each of the epistles of Paul's... (one is a Allen, the other a Cambridge turquoise),
There is a note after the last verse of each book that says who "wrote" it..
For example, after Hebrews, the note reads:
"Written to the Hebrews from Italy by Timothy"
--------
Personally, I am taking this to mean the note is basically saying that Paul dictated the letter, and Timothy wrote it?
(I do understand that there is on-going debate of the author, but is generally accepted to have been from Paul... anyway, that is not my question.)
My question is WHY these notes make this claim, yet there is no reference to prove accuracy. No resources or documentations are listed.
And these notes are at the end of all of Pauls letters... listing them as being written by different various people.
Is there some historical text that tells us this info somewhere??
