During a visit to the Samaritan community of Nablus in 1907, Moses Gaster was gifted a manuscript which he identified as an antique recension of the Samaritan Book of Joshua. The publication of his discovery elicited public debate over the authenticity of the text. This paper will shed new light on the text and the controversy that surrounded it on the basis of evidence from the Rylands Gaster Samaritan collections.
