This codex is a very early manuscript of the Torah according to the Tiberian mesorah (circa 920).

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Torah (Pentateuch) wth Tiberian vocalization and masoretic notes. The main part of this codex is one of the oldest examples of the Tiberian mesorah (written circa 920). It has been utilized by scholars as one of the most important manuscripts for the reconstruction of the text of the Torah in the Aleppo Codex. Other parts (most of Genesis from the start and most of Deuteronomy until the end) were added by a Yemenite Jewish scribe in a later century, in order to complete a full copy of the Torah. This codex is referred to in scholarly literature as B or ב (Yeivin, Breuer) or as א (Ginsburg).
Date circa 920

Licensing

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1500, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
