The Tolidah or Tulida (Hebrew: תולידה, meaning "Genealogy") is a Samaritan chronicle that is considered the oldest Samaritan historical work. Written mainly in Hebrew, with sections in hybrid Samaritan Hebrew and Aramaic, the book provides a concise summary of Samaritan history and the dynasty of kohanim up to the Middle Ages.[1]
The Tolidah reached its final form in a manuscript copied by Jacob ben Harun in 1859 AD (1276 AH) with a parallel Arabic translation. Its full title is Ha-Tolidah ׳asher mit׳akeh beyn ha-Shemarim, which translates to "The Book of Genealogies that has been Transcribed by the Samaritans". Owing to its first publisher, it is sometimes known as the Chronicle Neubauer.[2][3]
