It is my honor and pleasure to announce the publication of a collective volume edited by yours truly:

Michael Langlois (ed.), The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Contributions to Biblical Exegesis and Theology 94, Leuven, Peeters, 2019.

“Seventy years after their discovery, the Dead Sea Scrolls continue to shed light on the Samaritan Pentateuch.The textual features, orthography, script, variant readings and even theology of the Samaritan Pentateuch have parallels in various manuscripts found in the Judaean desert and copied during the Second Temple period. The fertile encounter of Samaritan and Dead Sea Scrolls studies has yielded this exceptional volume, featuring twelve contributions by some of the most respected scholars gathered at the University of Strasbourg on May 26–27, 2016. They cover such issues as scribal and editorial practices, political and religious history, textual editions and versions, palaeography and linguistics — with provocative studies challenging classical theories on the origin of the Gerizim tenth commandment or the date of the earliest Dead Sea Scrolls.”

This volume publishes the proceedings of the international conference held in Strasbourg in 2016. Here is the table of contents:
