I was only saying that--like the massoretic of the Aleppo and Leningrad 
codices, the Samaritan Pentateuch was a medieval manuscript. I have no doubt 
that it--like the massoretic--reflects a very early form of the Pentateuch.

        Dr. Thompson;
        
        So, for those of us who do not have access to Hjelm's article, are you
        saying that the SP is a medieval composition, or a medieval redaction 
of
        an earlier text?
        
        Best salaams,
