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.

JW:
The Tiberian tradition is the received tradition probably due in large part  
to Maimonides' endorsement. But there was also a Babylonian and Palestinian  
textual tradition with relatively few extent quality Exemplars.
