Hi, does anybody know when was the raphe sign neglected from Tiberian Biblical manuscripts above non "beged kefet" letters? The Aleppo Codex is old, and has some words marked with raphe over yod and other consonants. As far as I know, the Cairo Codex does have this feature too. Is this any sort of reliable criteria to date it? --Aldozamudio 15:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Aldozamudio

This does not belong to this article: but in a fact the raphe sign was not neglected in manuscripts, it's just missing in the modern edition of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia "for technical reasons"... 85.207.167.112 (talk) 09:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

the authenticity of the Codex
A discussion of the authenticity of the Codex of the Prophets should be undertaken with reference and study of Professor Paul Kahle's comprehensive texts on both the punctuation of ancient texts and his analysis of variations in the texts and usage. He includes passages from various texts as well as photographic reproductions. See his books, The Cairo Geniza, a Blackwell translation, Oxford, 1959 and Masoreten des Westens, 1927.

'''The writer of this paragragh is confused as the codex Carensis was never vocalized (only the Aleppo Codex was vocalized by Aharon Ben Asher). The Codex Cairensis was written by Moses Ben Asher and not vocalized by his son Aharon'''.

This passage was removed by me today. Anyone can see from the images which accompany this article that the Codex Cairensis is in fact vocalized.--Kauko56 (talk) 12:55, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
