Samaritan Pentateuch Recreation mounted in a 12 by 18 inch frame. There is a picture of the Samaritan High Priest holding the Samaritan Pentateuch, 1905. Below is recreation of Genesis 5:18-22 published by Jean Morin in 1631, first publication of the Samaritan Pentateuch. "Some Pentateuchal manuscripts discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls have been identified as bearing a "pre-Samaritan" text type. Wide agreement now exists among textual critics that the Samaritan Pentateuch represents an authentic ancient textual tradition despite the presence of some unique variants." Wikipedia.
