Abstract:

This volume offers the critical edition and an English translation of the
oldest translation of the Pentateuch into Western Karaim copied in 1720 by
Simcha ben Chananel (died 1723). The manuscript was compared against several
other Karaim translations of the Torah as well as with the standard text of
the Hebrew Bible. The author provides a description of the manuscript’s
language and an outline of the history of Western Karaim translations of the
Torah to better understand the its philological and historical background.
