The first English translation of the Samaritan Pentateuch!

For the first time, prominent scholars have produced an English translation of the Samaritan Torah .. The best part of it is that one of the team members is a prominent Samaritan priest - Benjamin Tsedaka ..

The published book is made in the comparison form, where they put the two versions of the Torah side by side ..

I know that Logos had enlisted the Hebrew version of the Samaritan Pentateuch but removed it from the pre-Pub list afterward.. So why i'm posting this suggestion again?? the answer is: because now we are talking about an English translation of the Pentateuch!!! It has been published in June 2011 ...

If we couldn't have the Hebrew version of the Samaritan Torah, at least we should have the English translation of it!

Here is the link of the book from Amazon

Note: the book is not available in Amazon yet ..

Yes, I'd like to see an English version (and a Hebrew one - what happened to that?)

So last we heard, it was back on track - but then ... silence.

Well, I went ahead and put in my name for the Amazonian translation. Same with the Targum translations. Waiting on Mother Logos can take years.

EDIT: Logos: don't miss the L5 thread Samaritan Pentateuch. In fact, it seems most threads and posts wanting the Samaritan Pentateuch are in the 'wrong' forums.
