The present volume of documents relating to Samaritan history, religion, and life is intended as a companion to 'The Samaritan Problem', Pittsburgh Monograph Series, Number 4, as giving translations of texts by Samaritan authors mentioned therein. But this is not the only aim of this work. It attempts to make accessible, in English, examples from a variety of Samaritan documents which provide us with a firsthand picture of Samaritan views about their history, their religion, and hopes for the future.
