| Summary: | Nafīs al-Dīn Abū al-Faraj ibn al-Kaṭār (thirteenth century), known as “Šams al-Ḥukama'ā” (“sun of the scholars”), composed the commentary, Šarḥ īm biḥkōtyi (شرح אם בחקותי). This commentary is written in Middle Arabic, in Arabic script, but biblical verses and Samaritan poems quoted in it are written in Samaritan Hebrew characters. The composition is extant in a number of Samaritan manuscripts. Although the title is Šarḥ īm biḥkōtyi, the treatise deals with numerous topics taken from a variety of domains, including linguistics, biblical exegesis, and religious law. In the field of linguistics there are discussions of issues involving phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. The exegesis includes a commentary on a part of the “Song of Moses” (Deut 32), as well as the author's translation of thirteen verses of the poem into Arabic. |
