Archaeology of the Books of Samuel by Philippe Hugo, Adrian Schenker is a scholarly work that delves into the textual criticism and literary aspects of the biblical text found in the books of Samuel. The authors, Philippe Hugo and Adrian Schenker, explore the intersection of different textual traditions, such as the Masoretic Text (MT), the Septuagint (LXX), and the texts from the Qumran community.

The book aims to address various exegetical questions, including the existence of distinct literary editions, criteria for identifying literary variants, ideological and theological motives behind textual modifications, and the possibility of establishing a relative chronology among the editions. By studying the ancient history of the text, the authors embark on an archaeological journey, metaphorically speaking, to uncover the foundations, modifications, restorations, and ruins of the textual edifice of the books of Samuel.
