Marqah

The Memar Marqah, or The teaching of Marqah, is a Samaritan homiletic tractate.^[1][2] It was written in Samaritan Aramaic by the Samaritan scholar, philosopher and poet, Marqah in the 4th century.^[3] The work is a collection of midrashic compositions on several parts of the Pentateuch, expanding its presentation of events and precepts with the purpose of examining its theological, didactic, and philosophical teachings.^[3]

Tibat Marqe consists of six volumes. The first five contain midrashim corresponding to the Pentateuch. The last book has a different character and describes conversations between Moses and letters of the Torah.^[4]
