Remember, what started this sub-thread was my bringing a source that
the original researchers, Vintzum et al, already did a comparison with
the Samaritan text. This would indicate that they /do/ have a digitized
version. The results were negative, more so, the Samaritan text showed
very close (well within one std deviation) to the expected number of
"codes" predicted by Vintzum's model -- at least for the patterns tested.

I find it odd that you are going on

If you can read Hebrew, check the book.
