In this paper I discuss the textual affinities of the three fragments of Samuel preserved in the Quedlinburg Itala (1 Sam 9:1–8; 15:10–18; 2 Sam 2:29–3:5), highlighting interesting variants for the study of Samuel-Kings. The Quedlinburg Itala shows a high number of interesting readings, especially in a non-kaige section. Especially when comparing Quedlinburg with other OL manuscripts, the findings potentially make an important contribution to the debate on the origins of the old Latin translation.
