The “crown” in Fustat: the Aleppo Codex in Cairo Genizah documents

The biblical manuscript known as the Aleppo Codex (Keter Aram Tzova), which became famous for its reliability and accuracy as well as for its colorful history as an object, is at the center of Neria Klein’s article. The author discusses the period of the codex’s presence in Egypt and tries to find out whether it was already then considered an exemplary version of the Bible, who used it, which audiences had access to it and whether it already had a permanent and usual name. His research is based on ten Genizah documents that he grouped together to answer these questions.
