""The Arabic Versions of the Pentateuch in the Church of Egypt"" is a scholarly work by Joseph Francis Rhode, published in 1921. The book presents a comprehensive study of eighteen Arabic and Copto-Arabic manuscripts of the Pentateuch, dating from the ninth to the seventeenth centuries, which were found in the Church of Egypt. The Pentateuch, also known as the Torah, is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible and is considered sacred by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Rhode's study examines the linguistic and textual features of these manuscripts, providing insights into the history of the Arabic language and the transmission of the Pentateuch in the Middle East.
