No, I tend to be ponderous and pedantic, at least the academics that I work
with call me that. :-) I imagine that I was attempting to be thorough
(though I failed there, as well).

Also, didn't early rabbis reject Sam. Pent. because it was not written in
Aramaic script but paleo-Hebrew?

Also, would 4QpaleoExodm belong in the list?

So revising the list to include only Hebrew:
1. Sam. Pent.
2. Memar Marqah has a midrash on the Hebrew Alphabet.
3. Liturgical works - Hebrew acrostics.
4. Chronicles - Ha-Tolidah

Hope this is a better understanding of the original question.

What do you consider the authoritative work on Samaritan Hebrew mss?

Thanks
