“…Such a tradition has seen intermittent scholarly interest since the publication of the Sixtine edition of the Septuagint in 1587, which included readings labelled to samareitikon (i.e., ‘the Samaritan’) in its marginalia (Marsh, forthcoming). Some debate has focused on how best to explain an apparent convergence between Septuagintal traditions and the Samaritan Targum (Stadel 2012, 2020).…”

“…Laura Lieber, in particular, has identified how the performative expectations of Samaritan poetry, as well as its conceptualization and personification of Torah, expands the ways we understand late antique people to have ritualized, theorized, and realized their proximity to the divine (Lieber 2017a, 2017b, 2019). Scholars have likewise increasingly identified the value of hymnographic comparison (Pereira 1997; Florentin 2006; Münz-Manor 2010; Novick 2019; Stadel 2012), and the possibility of insights into history from a Samaritan perspective (Lieber 2009; Stadel 2015b). The incidence of Samaritan texts and traditions in magical contexts, most notably amulets (Pummer 2019; Stadel 2014), provides a window into yet another way in which Samaritan presence was concretized in late antiquity.…”

In this article, I survey recent trends in Samaritan studies, with a particular focus on biblical studies and the interactions of Samaritan Israelites with other religious traditions. While remaining entrenched in discussion of the origins of Samaritans, scholars have firmly embraced the idea of processual Samaritan identity, emerging over time and in a non-genealogical sense alongside and interwoven with Judean/Jewish self-definition. Extensive work clusters, in particular, at three nodes: the study of Hebrew-language scriptures, archaeological excavations, and the remodelling of identity-production in a constructivist form. I also sketch out the directions in which the field is moving, with growing and productive emphasis on Aramaic, Arabic, and late antiquity. Finally, I identify some of the quirks of Samaritan studies as it might be encountered, in particular a continued effort to salvage Samaritans for biblical studies, somewhat intermittent interdisciplinarity, and practices of engagement with Samaritan Israelites themselves.
