The professor who originally asked the question wrote to say thanks and he wanted to know both about the concept and the term, "ten commandments." Another reader asked if I found someone who already wrote an article on the topic.  I did not look for an article.  In the old days before computer data bases,  researchers would tediously search paper indexes or flip through pages of the books.  Google is a great tool, but it misses much older material.  This reader, who is also a Ph.D, says that today researchers don't bother to look for older stuff.  I thought that my research used three ways to find answers and should have been sufficient.  I did find English books from the 15th century.
After talking to people today, I realize that my research is not complete.  I am interested in searching for more Jewish sources for the use of the term.
