9th–10th c. · The Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary

• Nevi'im
• Latter Prophets
• Codex

An early Latter Prophets manuscript (110 leaves of parchment) recovered from a genizah in Yazd, Persia. The vocalization and accentuation reflect the Tiberian tradition, but the masorah contains Babylonian material and the biblical text has been modified in places to conform to Babylonian textual traditions — a significant mixed-tradition witness. Cited in I. Yeivin's The Aleppo Codex of the Bible (1968).
