Samaritans Through the Ages

Die Reihe Studia Samaritana versammelt Bände aus dem gesamten Gebiet wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen zu den Samaritanern, von den antiken Befunden bis hin zur Erforschung der gegenwärtigen samaritanischen Gemeinschaft und ihrer Traditionen. Besondere Schwerpunkte liegen in den Bereichen Geschichte, Kultur, Literatur, Religion und Ethnographie der Samaritaner. Die Reihe wird in Zusammenarbeit mit der Société d'Études Samaritaines herausgegeben und ist bibliographisch in die Reihe Studia Judaica integriert (jeweils separate Bandzählung in beiden Reihen).

The volume contains the edited papers presented at the 10th international conference of the Société d'Études Samaritaines held in Budapest in 2022. It is dedicated to the famous Hungarian rabbi and scholar Samuel Kohn (18411920) whose relevance in Samaritan studies was commemorated by Abraham Tal.
The articles discuss the most recent questions of Samaritan research in five different fields. Historical topics and Samaritan synagogue mosaics are investigated by Ingrid Hjelm, Innocent Himbaza and Reinhard Pummer. Greek inscriptions and Aramaic documents are studied by Magnar Kartveit, Andreas Lehnardt, and József Zsengellér. Arabic Torah interpretations, and historical documents are delt with by Jasper Bernhofer, Leonhard Becker and Daniel Bouek. Analyses of Samaritan Hebrew and Aramaic linguistic issues and of Samaritan translation techniques are presented by Moshe Florentin, Christian Stadel, Nehemia Gordon, David Hammidovi, Patrick Pouchelle and Phil Reid. Studies on Samaritan manuscript writings and collections are presented by Evelyn Burkhardt, Stefan Schorch, Mariia Boichun and Golda Akhiezer.
Leading scholars and young new colleagues enrich the various fields of Samaritan studies with new findings, insights ad implications.
