Hello Jerry, Thank you for the clear and helpful explanation.
All the best, Bruryah Tashah From: Jerry Shepherd
[mailto:jshepherd53 AT gmail.com] Hi Bruryah, A diplomatic
text is one that has been copied from only a single manuscript. Sometimes
this is also referred to as a dedicated text. An eclectic text is one
that has been produced taking any number of manuscripts into account. Philip's
question was whether the Leningrad Codex was a diplomatic (dedicated) text or
an eclectic one. George responded that it was his understanding that it
was a diplomatic text. I think
George is partially correct. A colophon at the end of the Leningrad Codex
indicates that the scribe who produced the codex did so from several
manuscripts of Aaron ben Moses ben Asher. What is not clear is whether
these prior manuscripts were of individual biblical books, or entire
codices. I think it is most likely that it is the latter. In any case,
I think probably we should understand that the Leningrad Codex is a
semi-diplomatic text. It was produced, taking several manuscripts into
account, but all those manuscripts are from the ben Asher tradition. Further to
this, Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia,
is a dedicated or diplomatic text. It faithfully reproduces the text of
the Leningrad Codex, but of course makes notes in its text-critical apparatus
about variants in other manuscripts. Hope this
helps. Blessings, Jerry

On Behalf Of George Athas Philip, my
understanding is that it is a diplomatic text.
