Dehn's attribution Maharil as author of the "Book of Abramelin" has been disputed...?

[edit]

Near the end of the article it is stated that:

Recently, the German esoteric scholar Georg Dehn has argued that the MaHaRIL was also the author of The Book of Abramelin which he wrote under the pseudonym of Abraham von Worms. However, this is disputed.

The last phrase leads to a citation. The citation leads to "http://www.themagickalreview.org/reviews/book-of-abramelin.php", a link which leads to error 404. The whole site is unavailable, in fact. I have since found partial archives of it's content, but no one cared to archive the one cited.

Is there any real dispute to Dehn's research, properly articulated, substantiated, peer reviewed and published?

If there is none, I am going to remove the statement — "However, this is disputed."

Have been researching this topic for some time. Cannot find any sources that dispute Dehn's authorship claim, though it is easily disputable, should be disputed, and certainly would be if the subject had wider academic interest. EarlyBuddhistScholar (talk) 05:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
