Thank you Jerry.
From the answer I surmise that we don't yet know the names of the manuscripts
that were used to produce the Lenningrad Codex?

diplomatically or eclectically?
Hi Bruryah,
A diplomatic text is one that has been copied from only a
single manuscript. Sometimes this is
also referred to as a dedicated text. An
eclectic text is one that has been produced taking any number of manuscripts
into account.
Philip's question was whether the Leningrad Codex was a
diplomatic (dedicated) text or an eclectic one. George responded that it was
his understanding that it was a diplomatic
text.
I think George is partially correct. A colophon at the end of the Leningrad
Codex
indicates that the scribe who produced the codex did so from several
manuscripts of Aaron ben Moses ben Asher. What is not clear is whether these
prior manuscripts were of individual
biblical books, or entire codices. I
think it is most likely that it is the latter.
In any case, I think probably we should understand that the
Leningrad Codex is a semi-diplomatic text. It was produced, taking several
manuscripts into account, but all those
manuscripts are from the ben Asher tradition.
Further to this, Biblia
Hebraica Stuttgartensia, is a dedicated or diplomatic text. It faithfully
reproduces the text of the
Leningrad Codex, but of course makes notes in its text-critical apparatus about
variants in other manuscripts.
Hope this helps.
Blessings,
Jerry
