Re: [Megillot] Looking for Masorah Magna

[dwashbur]

Thanks to all who responded, I've managed to download a couple of them and will 
sort them 
out later.  Meanwhile, the reason for the request,  which may not  actually be 
applicable to 
this list:

Someone has been trying to tell me that Gen 19:18 is one of something  like 134 
places 
where scribes substituted Adonai for YHWH; the marginal note in BHS just  has 
the number, 
there's no footnote, and I can't seem to find  such a  reference so far.  This 
guy claims that 
this substitution is explained in the Masorah Magna.  I'm trying to locate it 
to see if he's got it 
right.  He gave me what's supposed to be the full list of  passages where this 
scribal  
substitution is purported to have happened.  I checked several of them against 
preserved 
passages in the DSS, and what I found does not support such a substitution 
idea.  Still, it 
would be good  to know if some (or all)  of the Masoretes  actually believed 
such a thing.  
Any help tracking down such a reference  in the MM would be greatly appreciated!

In addition to the www.lulu.com version of Ginsburg's "The Massorah 
compiled from manuscripts. . .", it's available free at 
http://www.seforimonline.org/ Go to Seforim Database and search for 
Ginsburg.


List members should be aware that Ginsburg's "complete Massorah." was 
never finished  The descriptive narrative of the Rubrics ends with /yod/ 
in volume 4.


Frensdorff's /Mah.beret ha-Masorah ha-gedolah /is available at Google Books.

Unfortunately, neither of these is searchable, but I have had limited 
success in searching Ginsburg by using the indexing feature in my PDF 
creator program.


Another brief reminder: No two Hebrew Bible manuscripts have identical 
masorahs, either magna or parva. So Ginsburg, Frensdorff, and even Weil 
are compilations from a variety of manuscript sources. Weil, of course, 
is essentially Leningradensis, relating directly to his work as 
masoretic editor for BHS.

Until recently I had a zip file with the complete Masorah  Magna, whether 
Ginsburg's or
something else I don't remember.  But it seems to have vanished.  Of course, 
this happens
just about the time I need to consult it, and I can't seem to find a 
replacement.  Can anybody
help me find a downloadable copy?  Preferrably something seachable...

Thanks,
