E. Tov has a detailed, and fascinating, discussion of both the fragmentary
texts labeled 'proto-Samaritan' from the Dead Sea Scrolls ( DSS), as well as
the linguistic features of the Samaritan as a whole.
One of the main features of the proto- Smaritan/ Samaritan texts are the so
callled harmonizations, or normalizations of peculiar grammatical or lexical
usages, for example: Gen 9:29 WYHY KL YMY NWX in MT becomes the proper WYHYW
KL YMY NWX, or Gen 49:11 SWTH in MT becomes the much clearer KSWTW .
There are other differences onveniently listed by Tov.

By a medieval text does one mean that it was actually written at that time ?
Or that we have not found archeological trace of an earlier such text ?
If someone who has the Hjelm article could expand on this a little,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Apparently scholars like Emanuel Tov consider it as a Bible that deserves be
thrown into
their textcrit mix, along with the DSS, the LXX, Vulgate, Peshitta, Targum,
etc. I am not
sure why they would do that if it was simply a medieval text.
I know that early CE writers reference their pronunciation of the
Tetragrammaton.
Are there no references to their Tanach ?
