Description
The Samaritan Pentateuch by William E. Barton is an account of the author's encounter with the oldest known manuscript of the Bible, the Holy Scroll at Nablus. In 1902, Barton had been researching biblical antiquities and was eager to see this ancient text for himself. He had been given a letter of introduction by his friend Mr. E. K. Warren, which proved useful in gaining access to the High Priest. The manuscript is believed to be over 2,000 years old, making it an extremely rare and significant find. The priests who guard the scroll are reluctant to show it to outsiders, but Barton was fortunate enough to see it up close. His account provides a unique glimpse into this ancient text and its significance in biblical studies. This book is a fascinating record of Barton's experiences and his observations about the Holy Scroll at Nablus. It offers insight into the history and cultural context of the Bible, making it an interesting read for those interested in religion and history.
