Kadosh Samaritan

A Free TrueType Font for Windows

by Bro\ Shawn Eyer

Every student of the Scottish Rite will eventually encounter the Pike rituals, and with them the Samaritan script.

Kadosh Samaritan follows the Michigan-Claremont encoding scheme, just like the Scholars Press Hebrew fonts. That means that you can represent any unpointed and unaccented Hebrew in Samaritan type just by changing the font.

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.
