This is the Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi Institute in Jerusalem's own institutional website for the Aleppo Codex, the medieval Hebrew Bible manuscript the Institute maintains and has digitized. As the custodian institution's own record it documents the Codex's Tiberian origin around 930 CE, its scribes, the portion of leaves lost after 1947, and the surviving portion now held at the Israel Museum, with direct institutional authority over these custodial facts. Its limit is that it is the holding institution's own account of an object in its own custody, appropriate for factual and provenance claims but not a substitute for independent scholarly analysis of the Codex's textual variants, which needs a source such as a critical study of the Masoretic text tradition alongside this institutional record.
