Aleppo Codex, AD 930, Museum Ben Zwi (Israel), (was complete, supposedly pointed by Aaron Ben Asher, partly destroyed in 1947); this ms is the basis of the Jerusalem Crown edition.

The Aleppo Codex (Keter Aram Tzova - "Crown of Aleppo") is a medieval bound manuscript of the Hebrew Bible. The codex was written in the 10th century A.D.[1] The codex is considered by some to be the most authoritative document in the masorah ("transmission"), a tradition by which the Hebrew Scriptures have been preserved from generation to generation.[2] Surviving examples of responsa literature show that the Aleppo Codex was consulted by far-flung Jewish scholars throughout the Middle Ages, and some modern studies argue that it is the most accurate representation of Masoretic principles in any extant manuscript, containing very few errors among the roughly 2.7 million orthographic details[3] that make up the Masoretic Text. For these reasons, some scholars view the Aleppo Codex as the most authoritative representative of the masoretic tradition, both its letter-text and its vocalization (niqqud and cantillation), although most of its Torah section and many other parts of the text are now missing and older documents such as the Dead Sea Scrolls have significantly different versions of the Biblical text.[4]
