Abstract

The article presents another Arabic translation of the 'Song of Moses' (Shirat Haazinu, Deuteronomy 32) by Nafīs al-Dīn Abū l-Faraj Ibn al-Kaṯār (13th century), focusing on thirteen verses. The text is written in Middle Arabic in Arabic script, while the Torah verses and quotations from Samaritan religious poetry are written in Samaritan Hebrew letters. The study examines the linguistic and exegetical features of this Samaritan-Arabic translation and its place within Ibn al-Kaṯār's corpus.
