כתב יד לנינגרד Hebrew Tanakh & New Testament (HET)

The Leningrad Codex (Latin: Codex Leningradensis [Leningrad Book]; Hebrew: כתב יד לנינגרד) is the oldest known complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible in Hebrew, using the Masoretic Text and Tiberian vocalisation. According to its colophon, it was made in Cairo in AD 1008 (or possibly 1009). Covers the Old Testament only. This edition combines two scholarly Hebrew texts. The Old Testament is from the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC), the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible (dated 1008–1009 AD), considered the authoritative text of the Masoretic tradition and the basis for all modern Old Testament scholarship and translation. The New Testament is the Delitzsch Hebrew New Testament (1877), translated by Franz Delitzsch (1813–1890), one of the foremost Old Testament scholars of his era, directly from the original Greek into classical Biblical Hebrew. The concordance indexes root consonants only (diacritical marks stripped) for practical study use.
