That means that you can represent any <strong>unpointed and unaccented</strong> Hebrew in Samaritan type just by changing the font. To facilitate this function, I have duplicated characters where appropriate because in ktav ashurit sometimes there are special versions of certain letters (kaph, mem, nun, peh, tzadi) when they come at the end of a word. This was not done in ancient manuscripts. </p> <p> Additionally, Kadosh Samaritan offers number of useful Masonic symbols, with an emphasis on the Scottish Rite. Among the images to be found are the double-headed eagle, the logo of the Scottish Rite Research Society, and the various crosses used in Scottish Rite signatures. </p>  <table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="right"> <tr bgcolor="#dddddd"> <td width="200"> Current Version: 1.10<br /> <br /> <strong>Download Now</strong>: <a href="/fonts/kadosh_samaritan_1_10.zip <a href="/fonts/kadosh_samaritan_1_10.zip" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/fonts/kadosh_samaritan_1_10.zip');">kadosh_samaritan_1_10.zip</a> (249k) - Archive includes documentation, terms of use and comprehensive character map in PDF format. <br /><br /> <strong>Read Documentation</strong>: <a href="/fonts/kadosh_samaritan_manual_1_10.pdf" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/fonts/kadosh_samaritan_manual_1_10.pdf');">User's Manual</a> (251k PDF) - View the font and comprehensive character map without downloading and installing the font. </span> </td> </tr> </table>  <p> Kadosh Samaritan is dedicated to the adepts and students of the <a href="http://www.guthriescottishrite.org/collegeintro.aspx">College of the Consistory</a>, and respectfully submitted for their use. </p> <p> This page is the permanent home for Kadosh Samaritan and you will always be able to get the latest version of it here.
