The ''Memar Marqah'', or ''The teaching of Marqah'', is a homiletictractate on the Samaritan Torah composed in the 4th century by the sage Marke ben Amram ben Sared, a contemporary of Baba Rabba. The collection, written mostly in Samaritan Aramaic and partly in Samaritan Hebrew, is actually composed of six distinct works, which were compiled by later copyists into a single collection. Reference to this view can be found in the name given to it by later copyists, ''The Ark of Marqe'', which indicates that the collection originated in a chest containing a selection of his writings found in Damascus. It was written in Samaritan Aramaic by the scholar, philosopher and poet Marqe in the 4th century. The work is a collection of midrashic compositions on several parts of the Torah, expanding its presentation of events and precepts with the purpose of examining its theological, didactic, and philosophical teachings. The ''Tibat Marqe'' consists of six volumes. The first five contain midrashim corresponding to the Torah. The last book has a different character and describes conversations between Moses and letters of the Torah.
