The article was written by a German. Native speakers of the English language are invited to scrutinize the correctness of spelling, grammar and word usage. --Kauko56 08:22, 5 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Owners of a more recent edition (in German: 5th) of Würthwein's book or of a copy in the English language (I know that such an English edition exists) are invited to change the reference accordingly, provided they check the validity of the article's details as well against the newer reference. --Kauko56 08:22, 5 August 2006 (UTC)Reply


Can somene, please, provide sources for the claim, that the Cairo Codex is located since 1985 in Israel? 85.207.167.112 (talk) 09:13, 28 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Criteria

edit

Hi, does anybody know when was the raphe sign neglected from Tiberian Biblical manuscripts above non "beged kefet" letters? The Aleppo Codex is old, and has some words marked with raphe over yod and other consonants. As far as I know, the Cairo Codex does have this feature too. Is this any sort of reliable criteria to date it? --Aldozamudio 15:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)AldozamudioReply

This does not belong to this article: but in a fact the raphe sign was not neglected in manuscripts, it's just missing in the modern edition of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia "for technical reasons"... 85.207.167.112 (talk) 09:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

the authenticity of the Codex

edit

A discussion of the authenticity of the Codex of the Prophets should be undertaken with reference and study of Professor Paul Kahle's comprehensive texts on both the punctuation of ancient texts and his analysis of variations in the texts and usage. He includes passages from various texts as well as photographic reproductions. See his books, The Cairo Geniza, a Blackwell translation, Oxford, 1959 and Masoreten des Westens, 1927.

The writer of this paragragh is confused as the codex Carensis was never vocalized (only the Aleppo Codex was vocalized by Aharon Ben Asher). The Codex Cairensis was written by Moses Ben Asher and not vocalized by his son Aharon.

This passage was removed by me today. Anyone can see from the images which accompany this article that the Codex Cairensis is in fact vocalized.--Kauko56 (talk) 12:55, 11 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
