A Chance Discovery: Christian David Ginsburg’s Notes and Two Historic Codices

David Moster

Abstrak

The author purchased a copy of Christian David Ginsburg’s The Massorah (1880-1905) and it contained thousands of mysterious handwritten numbers. It was determined by a handwriting analysis that these notes belonged to Ginsburg himself, and that he was analyzing the Masoretic material of two privately-owned codices. The first, MS Holkham 2, has been attributed to the scribe Yisrael Hasofer from Toledo, ca. 1200-1250. The second, the Schottenstein Spanish Bible, is of Sephardic origin from ca. 1300s. Both of these codices reference the now-lost Masoretic Bibles known as the Muggah and Hilleli codices.
