===Modern publications=== Until the latter half of the 20th century, [[Textual criticism|critical edition]]s of the Samaritan Pentateuch were largely based upon Codex B. The most notable of these is ''Der Hebräische Pentateuch der Samaritaner'' (''The Hebrew Pentateuch of the Samaritans'') compiled by August von Gall and published in 1918. An extensive critical apparatus is included listing variant readings found in previously published manuscripts of the Samaritan Pentateuch. His work is still regarded as being generally accurate despite the presence of some errors, but it neglects important manuscripts including the Abisha Scroll which had not yet been published at the time.<ref name = "Vanderkam93"/><ref> [[Ellis R. Brotzman]] notes that Gall's edition "because of the principles used to prepare it, must be used with caution." ([https://books.google.com/books?id=93_Dc4SC5ngC&pg=PA66 Brotzman 1994, p. 66].)</ref> Textual variants found in the Abisha scroll were published in 1959 by Federico Pérez Castro<ref name="Brotzman">[https://books.google.com/books?id=93_Dc4SC5ngC&pg=PA66 Brotzman 1994, p. 66].</ref> and between 1961 and 1965 by A. and R. Sadaqa in ''Jewish and Samaritan Versions of the Pentateuch – With Particular Stress on the Differences Between Both Texts''.<ref name = "Vanderkam93"/> In 1976 L.F. Giron-Blanc published Codex Add. 1846, a Samaritan Pentateuch codex dating to 1100 CE in the critical edition ''Pentateuco Hebreo-Samaritano: Génesis'' supplemented with variants found in fifteen previously unpublished manuscripts.<ref name = "Brotzman"/> Certain recently published critical editions of Pentateuchal books take Samaritan variants into account, including D.L. Phillips' edition of Exodus.<ref>Phillips, D.L. ''Hebrew-English: Paleo Exodus: Scripture at the End of the Iron II Period.'' Edwin Mellen, 2004.</ref> The Arabic translation of the Samaritan Pentateuch has been edited and published at the beginning of the 21st century.<ref>The Arabic Translation of the Samaritan Pentateuch - Volume One: Genesis-Exodus. Volume Two: Leviticus-Numbers-Duteronomy, Hebrew and Arabic. Shehadeh, Haseeb, The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. 2002</ref> Several publications containing the text of the Samaritan Targum have appeared. In 1875, the German scholar Adolf Brüll published his {{Lang|de|Das samaritanische Targum zum Pentateuch}} (''The Samaritan Targum to the Pentateuch''). More recently a two volume set edited by Abraham Tal appeared featuring the first critical edition based upon all extant manuscripts containing the Targumic text.<ref>{{cite book|last = Tal| first = Abraham F. |title = The Samaritan Targum of the Pentateuch: a critical edition (2 vols.)(Texts and Studies in the Hebrew Language and Related Subjects, 5.) |location = Tel-Aviv |publisher = Tel-Aviv University| year = 1981}}</ref>
