Hello all!
Does anyone know when will the Samaritan Pentateuch be made ready?
Thanks!
Jack
They're waiting for the Taheb. Actually it was a pre-pub or CP that was removed a while back due to not enough interest.
Clearly Accordance views its value differently.

John Bowman is also interesting:

OK ... things are getting dicey again. The Eerdmans 'Israelite Samaritan Version of the Torah' by Benyamim Tsedaka and Sharon Sullivan is just 30 days away!
No, not a Logos pre-pub. We're still trying to get something english on the Targums. And a NA28 for goodness sakes (with apparatus).
Instead, 'Samaritan' is a comparison of the Samaritan pentateuch with the Masoretic. And 'in english' (there's been previous ones that match the two in the funny writing).
I've recently been spending quite a bit of time on Qumran (many similarities to the Samaritan), as well as 2nd Temple Judaism. The Samaritan is very likely a key player.
Fingers crossed!

EDIT: Uh oh. Amazon's showing late April. Looks like it's a horse race between NA28 and the Samaritan. Go Samaritan, go!!
Whoa, this race is really going to be a real tie-breaker. Word on the 'street' (5th and Main at the fire hydrant) is many greek bidders are holding back (still looking for the changes from NA27).
But NA28 is at 80%. Moving up from 75% just weeks back. (This would be the resource that has lots of nifty new references in writing, that few of the greek aficionados can make out).
Then there's Samaritan Torah. Eerdmans is STILL holding at 3/31 while Amazon (order backlog?) is moving into confidently into May.
