Leningrad codex - Definition and Overview

The oldest complete Hebrew Bible still preserved, The Leningrad Codex, is a manuscript written in the early 11-th century in Cairo. It resides in the Russian National Library since the mid 19th century in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is called so, to avoid confusion, since the city was still called Leningrad when the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center and West Semitic Research photographed the Bible in 1990.
