The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls

Seventy years after their discovery, the Dead Sea Scrolls continue to
shed light on the Samaritan Pentateuch. The textual features,
orthography, script, variant readings and even theology of the Samaritan
Pentateuch have parallels in various manuscripts found in the Judaean
desert and copied during the Second Temple period. The fertile encounter
of Samaritan and Dead Sea Scrolls studies has yielded this exceptional
volume, featuring twelve contributions by some of the most respected
scholars gathered at the University of Strasbourg on May 26–27, 2016.
They cover such issues as scribal and editorial practices, political and
religious history, textual editions and versions, palaeography and
linguistics—with provocative studies challenging classical theories on
the origin of the Gerizim tenth commandment or the date of the earliest
Dead Sea Scrolls.
