Abstract


There is a significant corpus of Spanish Hebrew manuscripts of the Bible dated 13th-15th centuries. These manuscripts do all contain Masorah in its different categories: parva, magna, finalis or Masoretic lists being it ornamental or not. So far, these manuscripts have been studied from a textual point of view, either critical editions of their texts or Masorah, or textual comparative studies. However, comparative studies on the specific characteristics of the Masoretic contents and, moreover, a comparison of the different manuscripts from this specific perspective, are scarce. In this paper, I intend to analyse some of these Masoretic lists, by comparing a selection of the most prestigious Spanish Bible manuscripts, their similarities and discrepancies. Furthermore, I will present under scrutiny some of the so-considered ornamental Masorahs and their texts.
