While I can't give you a count, I can show you the full list that Ginsberg lists, and you can get the ideaĪs mentioned at the link i gave, the book is split into two PDFs. Here Ginsberg is referring to the earlier 916CE text that only contains the latter prophets. Note that St Petersberg codex can be ambiguous as it may refer to the Leningrad Codex, or the earlier 916CE text that only contains the latter prophets.

The answer at this link by me, What manuscript(s) does BHS get Joshua 21:36-37 from? has some screenshots of Ginsberg's work showing some of the list of manuscripts it reviews, and links to where you can download it. It was published before the Aleppo Codex became widely available, and of course before the dead sea scrolls were discovered. and another work probably examines them also, Variae lectiones Veteris Testamenti ex immensa mss. themselves, in the form of colophons,5 deeds of sale. Those manuscripts have been examined by C.D. Catalogue of the Hebrew Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library and in the College Libraries of Oxford. We have the Aleppo Codex, and the Leningrad Codex.īesides those, there are a loads of manuscripts that aren't a complete OT, though no doubt taken together form a complete OT many times over. I'm not sure re an exact count, but the oldest would be the dead sea scrollsĪnything complete or near complete is much later like 900CE onwards. Cambridge holds nearly 200.000 of them in present day, but it also remains unclear how many of them are Old Testament manuscripts.Īny help or answer would be greatly appreciated. His library is called the second Firkovich collection, and it contains many Biblical manuscripts, but I can't make out whether all 17.000 manuscripts mentioned are Biblical or how many of them are Old Testament manuscripts.Īnother collection is the Cairo Geniza collection, which consisted of 300.000 manuscripts before being dispersed. I also came across the library of a man named Abraham Firkovich, who apparently managed to obtain at least 1.300 Samaritan manuscripts of the Pentateuch, the first 5 books of the Bible. Wikipedia lists that there are about 2000 manuscripts of the Septuagint version of the Old Testament today. The Burnt Codex (MS Add.1846) is an 11th - 12th century manuscript of the Samaritan Pentateuch.

When looking into this, the closest I got to an answer is that the Masoretes were great copyists, but that they also had a way of disposing of older manuscripts, through the process of burial, and that this is the reason there supposedly aren't many preserved manuscripts of the Old Testament. Codex Cairensis is manuscript of the Former and Latter Prophets of the Hebrew Bible usually dated to the late 9th century C.E.
