All,

In the intro to the Biblia Hebraica Leningradensia, it said that there were known errors in the BHS. Apart from differences in the nikud, does anyone know if there any mistakes/differences in the consonants (letters) of the BHS, compared with the Leningrad Codex? Has a list ever been published? The BHS would have been done before the recent facsimile edition of the Leningrad Codex, so the new photos may have made the text easier to read.

Similarly, are there any differences between the consonants (letters) of the Leningrad Codex and the Aleppo Codex? When Shmuel ben Yakov corrected the Leningrad Codex, would it have been corrected to the
Aleppo Codex or another Masoretic manuscript?

Finally, I also have the Koren Bible (Koren publishers in Jerusalem), the standard Israeli one. What is the source of its text - is it also the Leningrad Codex?

Regards,

Ewan MacLeod
