The Aleppo Codex: In Pursuit of One of the World’s Most Coveted, Sacred, and Mysterious Books
Matti Friedman
Unveils the journey of a sacred text - the tenth-century annotated bible known as the Aleppo Codex - from its hiding place in a Syrian synagogue to the newly founded state of Israel. This book proposes a theory of what happened when the codex left Aleppo, Syria, in the late 1940s and eventually surfaced in Jerusalem, mysteriously incomplete.
