[edit] is this the codex that contains the bible code

Most of the people who like to do "Bible codes" use the letters of the masoretic text, and indeed the Leningrad Codex is a remarkably accurate (but still far from perfect) manuscript of the masoretic text. It is amusing that the "bible codes" people in Jerusalem used the Koren Tanakh, which is a good edition but still far less accurate than others, and certainly less accurate than this codex. Well, no one ever said you need to be a bible scholar to do bible codes... ;-) Dovi 12:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] many copies of leningradensis?

a part of the book "the Dead Sea Scrolls after forty years" mentions 2500 codices at leningrad? and might be useful in fleshing out this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.14.212.110 (talk) 03:00, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Might this not refer to the whole collection of Judaica (if that's the word) which came from Abraham Firkovich? The collection, of which the Leningrad Codex is only one small part, runs to over 1000 manuscripts and 18000 items in all according to the Russian National Library.
