Yes, ignore that comment on my part -- it was the fruit of over-active but inadequately-informed thinking on the part of a novice, and Elaine Keown already pointed out the error. I re-read the book I had been reading, and it said that the Leningrad is viewed by all to be a *good* examplar of the ben Asher tradition, but that Allepo is considered by many to be the best. >Anyhow, I have a photocopy of a facsimile edition of the Leningrad >Codex of two locations: B'midbar 33(?) which has a yerah ben >yomo/galgal, and Tehillim/Psalms 137 (actually called 136 in the >Codex) which has both a galgal and an etnah hafukh in close >proximity... Ah, so if one can just get a decent copy, that would be a good source. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
