Contents / scope

Nearly complete Hebrew Bible historically; substantial leaves are missing. Completeness must be evaluated book/passage by book/passage.

Evidence boundary: The codex is a medieval Masoretic witness of exceptional importance. It must not be represented as an ancient pre-Christian manuscript, and missing leaves cannot be reconstructed as extant evidence.
