I'm trying to find information on the number of MSS (and their relative

regarding
New Testament texts, even down to the details of individual books and
their
dating; but when it comes to the Hebrew Scriptures, I can't seem to find
this info.  The only thing I have found is a general number of about 2000
MSS.  I'm really looking for something more specific than this, but even
this will do if I can find it in reputable source.

Any ideas?

At the above link is found the following text:

>>>
After 1100 AD
There are more then 3000 extant Hebrew manuscripts that reflect the
Tiberian tradition 
and were written in the 12 century and later. 
The close of this period is marked by the invention of the printing
press. 
The Masoretic tradition was transmitted with very little change to the
medieval Jewish manuscripts.

Dear List,

I have purposely changed the Subject heading to reflect some thoughts on the
thread regarding aspect, etc.

First, I have read almost all of the e-mails and quite put out by the lack
of using terms that have meaning. Some of the posts I could not make head
nor tails of.
Furthermore, though some did reference sources, NOT all did. David did quote
some of Rolf's dissertation, but Rolf needs to also. I think that if the
"chapter and verse" is made, then discussions of methodology, etc. will be
clearer to everyone.
If necessary, quote the entire paragraph to make sure that one is NOT
quoting out of context.

Some examples:
Past Time with Past Reference. What does this mean in simple English (KISS)?
The term, "implicature?"
Uncancellable or Cancellable Meaning? or Uncancellable Intrinsic Meaning?,
etc.

Secondly, I suspect, that the majority on this list do not have linguistic
backgrounds to understand what is being said. If I am wrong, then I will
surely be corrected. So I request that those who choose to continue the
discussion give precise definitions of what is being talked about before
they proceed. Without precise definitions, the participants will usually be
talking past one another.

Thirdly, Please make sure that all assumptions regarding linguistics should
be "out in front." We all know what happens when one assumes?!

I want to learn, but it is a little hard when I cannot decipher the lingo.

BTW, my OT professor and now, colleague, mentioned a book or article by
Zevit, and Buth regarding the issue of Aspect and Tense. Any clues who has
them or where to get them?

Rev. Bryant J. Williams III
