Aaron ben Moshe ben Asher

The Codex Leningradensis, dated to around AD 1008, is the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible. Preserved in Saint Petersburg, it uses the Masoretic text and Tiberian vocalization. Based on the work of Aaron ben Moshe ben Asher, it serves as the foundation of the Biblia Hebraica and the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. Its exceptional state of preservation makes it an essential primary source for biblical studies and for the reconstruction of the Aleppo Codex.
