English Translation of Samaritan Torah On Its Way by slaveofone
This post is a little late, but considering how long the English-speaking world has been waiting for a translation of the Samaritan Pentateuch, a couple weeks is not that much time. There has been a lot of speculation over the past several years about a translation by the scholar and Samaritan, Benny Tsedaka. I recently received correspondence from the man himself. The contract with a publisher to print the first ever English translation was signed as of 8-8-09. The book will hit shelves in 2010. I did not receive word on the precise publisher, but I imagine we will know by year’s end.
