Talk:List of Hebrew Bible manuscripts

Dates added
¶ I took the liberty of adding some of the dates to mss listed, this data from Wurthwein, The Text of the Old Testament (2d rev. ed 1995). Previously not only were some dates missing, but some of the dates provided were not written in proper English (e.g. "dated to the 916"). Sussmanbern (talk) 07:36, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

References added
I also added as additional references four or five sources that were especially informative on the lost manuscripts (and added some details from these to the list of lost mss without cluttering up the list with footnote numbers). Sussmanbern (talk) 18:09, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Qumran Cave 1-11
The list of manuscripts from Qumran Cave 1 to 11 are linked to the Qumran Cave 1 to 11 section, respectively, except Caves 9 and 10 which are listed as not containing any biblical manuscripts. JohnThorne (talk) 20:00, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

"Ben Asher Manuscripts" standing by itself on the list - why?
It is not defined, actually includes half of what's listed below, if I got it right... Is it needed? Or is there more to it? Thanks, Arminden (talk) 08:01, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Consistency of dates
This article reads "Cairo Geniza fragments contains portions of the Hebrew Bible in Hebrew and Aramaic, discovered in Cairo synagogue, which date from about 4th century CE" but the article Cairo Geniza reads "These manuscripts outline a 1,000-year continuum (870 CE to 19th century)". Which is right? 4th century is a lot earlier than 9th. George Rodney Maruri Game (talk) 22:27, 15 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The earliest material in the Cairo Genizah is from a sixth-century copy of Aquila's Greek translation of the book of Kings. The earliest Hebrew Bible fragments in the Cairo Genizah are from the 7th or 8th century. McSmithertonson (talk) 12:42, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Paleo-Hebrew Leviticus scroll
Why is it not listed under the subtopic "List of Hebrew Bible manuscripts" of the topic "List of Hebrew Bible manuscripts"? Was it not discovered during the Modern era as the other DSS were?
