The exhibition described in this book explored the works by and about =
the Samaritans and the Karaites, two ancient Jewish sects that claim to =
be the sole legitimate interpreters of the biblical religion. Both =
groups have survived into the modern period.=20
The Samaritans claim to be descended from the tribes of the Northern =
Kingdom of Israel, who were not deported by the Assyrians in the eighth =
century. They do not consider themselves Jews. The Samaritans built =
their own sanctuary on Mt. Gerizim near Shechem (Nablus) in Samaria, =
where they still practice animal sacrifice once a year on Passover. =
Today they number roughly 600 souls, half under Israeli rule in Holon =
and the other half under Palestinian rule in their ancient center at =
Nablus.=20
The Karaites are an offshoot of Judaism that arose in the eighth century =
CE in Iraq in opposition to the Talmud and other rabbinic additions to =
biblical law. They claimed that the true Jewish religion lay in direct =
interpretation of Scripture by qualified individuals. From Iraq, the =
sect spread to Palestine, Egypt, Byzantium, the Crimean peninsula, =
Poland, and Russia. Today there are Karaite communities in Russia, =
Lithuania, Turkey, Israel, Egypt and the US.=20
Scripture and Schism brought together a fascinating exhibit of medieval =
manuscripts, early printed books, broadsides, and other works rarely =
seen on public display, including medieval letters from the Cairo =
Genizah. They are reproduced on high quality paper in this beautiful =
exhibition catalog.
Additional information and images from the exhibit may be viewed online =
