My new Facsimilie edition of the Leningrad codex.

Hello everyone I know I havent been able to comment much on my BLOG nor have been able to post the articles that i have promised due to time restraints on my person. Anyhow I would like to say that I am extremely happy now that my facsimilie edition of the Leningrad codex has arrived. Oh my I just couldnt contain myself when I was reading the text and all of that. I know many who say that the Leningrad codex is not the best or anything like that but they have to realize the Artscroll Tanakh, the BHS, The JPS Hebrew -English Tanakh and others are based on this manuscript. While I will agree that the Aleppo Codex is older and probably more accurate, in most cases, the fact of the matter is that that Aleppo Codex is incomplete. It is missing three fourths of the Torah and many of the writings due to suspicious conditions or the "fire" incident. That is all I would like to say at this time other than I am very close to finishing the articles promised and hopefully within the next few days they will be out there on the web read by whomever needs the Info.

Shalom,
