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. The Salkinson-Ginsburg Hebrew New Testament is a celebrated 19th-century translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures into classical Hebrew. It was primarily translated by the Jewish scholar and poet Isaac Edward Salkinson and completed by his friend, the eminent biblical scholar Christian David Ginsburg. The Authors: Isaac Salkinson was a Jewish believer in Jesus and a renowned Hebrew linguist. When he passed away just chapters short of finishing his life's work in the early 1880s, the Trinitarian Bible Society asked his colleague Christian David Ginsburg to finish and edit the manuscript. Publication: The completed New Testament was first published in 1885, with a widely circulated, revised edition released in 1886. Linguistic Style: Salkinson opted for a strictly classical or Biblical Hebrew style, using only vocabulary found in the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible), rather than adapting modern or Rabbinic Hebrew phrases.
