Ms. codex.

Matches text of MS 3526 through the entry for Hanina, anno 3866=E. N. Adler and M. Seligsohn, Une nouvelle chronique samaritaine (text with accompanying French translation, Paris, 1903, also published in Revue des etudes juives 44-46, 1902-1903), to the same entry, p. 34.

Copy evidently made for study and publication, with facing pages (versos) blank (a few notes entered), and text showing editor's instructions.

This chronicle is based upon Tolidah attributed to Eleazar ben Amram, an Arabic chronicle of Abu al-Fath (1355) and a Samaritan ספר דברי הימים (Adler and Seligsohn, op. cit., introduction, p. viii; R. T. Anderson and T. Giles note that the third work may actually be the same as the second, Tradition kept, Peabody, Mass., 2005, p. 222, n. 4), and is structured according to periods of Samaritan high priests like those first two works.

Based upon a copy in Samaritan script made for Jacob b. Aaron, Nablus, in 1859, this work has been updated through 1899 (although our copy does not reflect the updating).

Title penciled on front pastedown: ×תולידה.

Written in three columns, one for subject's lifespan, one for date, and one for details of subject's lifetime.

E. N. Adler's catalog, p. 155, entry for Tolidah, contains no. 1354 and 1355; 1355 is MS 3526; 1354 has not been found; perhaps this ms. is intended.
