"In 1524, Jacob ben Hayyim published a printed text of the Hebrew Old Testament, using a multitude of high quality manuscripts, including several lists of Masoretic notes. This became a standard for printed Jewish Bibles. Only in the last two hundred years has it been so accepted in the Christian world. "
Is this true? Was the ben Hayyim text the standard for printed Jewish Bibles. And was the ben Hayyim text not widely accepted in the Christian world until ~1800? What is the relation between KJV and ben Hayyim?
