Summary

Tanakh: Aleppo Codex (Yehoshua 1:1)

http://www.aleppocodex.org (requires ActiveX to view)

The Aleppo Codex is a medieval manuscript of the Hebrew Bible ( Tanakh), associated with Rabbi Aaron Ben Asher. The Masoretic scholars wrote it in the early 10th century, probably in Tiberias, Israel. It is in book form and contains the vowel points and grammar points (nikkudot) that specify the pronunciation of the ancient Hebrew letters to preserve the chanting tradition. It is perhaps the most historically important Hebrew manuscript in existence.
