Zahn, Molly M.
“The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Scribal Culture of Second Temple Judaism,” Journal
for the Study of Judaism 46 (2015): 285-313. [Zahn’s thesis is nearly
identical to Knoppers 2013 chap 7 (pluriformity of pentateuchal texts in MT,
LXX, SP, with DSS confirming ongoing scribal updating through mid-second temple
period), though Zahn does not cite this book until p. 302, after which she
regularly interacts with Knoppers. Zahn argues that scribal updating akin to SP
preceded SP, and is evident in other traditions. Zahn’s essay offers numerous
tables with side by side passages from SP, LXX, MT, and Qumran, with unpointed
Hebrew and English translations in each case.]
