Written by Joseph ben Ab Chisda Hacohen of Nablus.
The text of the Samaritan Pentateuch, containing the five books of the Torah, is mostly similar to the Masoretic Text, but there are some variations in the spelling of words or grammatical constructions, and some significant changes, such as the Samaritan commandment to construct an altar on Mount Gerizim. The Samaritan Pentateuch is written in an ancient Hebrew script that preceded the Assyrian [square] script.
