Available for U.S. Customers only. This book is non-returnable. A beautiful, slip-cased edition ofThe Jerusalem Crown (Keter) Bible, printed in Israel on acid-free Bible paper. Crimson, partially gold-embossed linen cover. The manuscript usually referred to as the Aleppo Codex is also known as keter (crown; arabic taj):; “Crown of Aleppo”; or; “Crown of ben Asher.”; Written in the early 10th century in Tiberias, it is the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible. The vocalization signs and accentuation marks as well as the masorah (a system of comments cross-referencing the spelling and the occurrence of particular words) were inserted by Aaron ben Asher, the most famous grammarian and scribe of his time. Because of his great attention to detail and accuracy, the keter became the most authoritative Hebrew Bible text. The codex has a rich and dramatic history. It was stolen in the 11th century and brought to Egypt. It is believed that Maimonides copied from it in Cairo when he wrote his own torah scroll, and there are indications that he referred to the Aleppo Codex when preparing the hilkhot sefer tora section of his most famous work, the Mishneh Torah. From Cairo the codex was moved to Aleppo in the 14th century, where it remained in the Jewish community for more than 500 years. In 1947, anti-Jewish riots took place in Syria, protesting the UN resolution to divide Palestine. The synagogues in Aleppo were burned and the codex was presumably damaged in a fire. It was hidden until it could be brought to Israel in 1958. Unfortunately, a considerable portion—almost the entire first five books—was missing. Renowned scholar Rabbi Mordechai Breuer worked for nearly 20 years reconstructing the lost parts. In 1956, the Hebrew University Bible Project in Jerusalem began making plans for an electronic version of the Bible based on the Aleppo Codex. As a result, Bible scholars now have what is widely believed to be the most accurate Hebrew Bible of all, and an alternative to Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, which is based on the Leningrad Codex. The Jerusalem Crown Bible, Keter Yerushalayim, is the first print edition of the Aleppo Codex. Jerusalem publisher Nahum Ben-Zvi worked with Zvi Narkiss, who created a new typeface, derived from the calligraphic square script of the original codex. The text was set in three columns, and then chapter and verse notations and the names of the weekly torah portions and their divisions for synagogue reading were added. In a short appendix Rabbi Breuer explains the principles of the text reproduction and lists the deviations from the Leningrad Codex. Dr. Mordechai Glatzer, a worldwide recognized expert in the history of printing, edited the companion volume. It contains contributions on various aspects of the manuscript's significance and in-depth descriptions of its history. Notably Dr. Yosef Ofer’s introduction to the Masorah clarifies where the codex’s authority stems from and why its text can be regarded as nearly error free. The realization of the Jerusalem Crown project was made possible through the generosity of the publisher Thomas Karger and the Karger Family Fund, Basel.

Keter Yerushalayim, the Jerusalem Crown, is the first edition of the Aleppo Codex as a printed Bible. This codex is the oldest known complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible and was written in the early 10th century in Tiberias. The famous grammarian and scribe Aaron ben Asher inserted the vocalization signs, accentuation marks and the Masorah - a system of comments cross-referencing the spelling and the occurrence of particular words. Because he also proofread the manuscript several times over, it became the authoritative text due to its accepted accuracy. After a long odyssey the codex found its way to Jerusalem in 1958, with unfortunately a major portion missing. In 1976 a facsimile of the manuscript was published and inspired the book edition closely resembling the original text. Thanks to the painstaking work of the renowned Scholar Rabbi Mordechai Breuer, the lost parts - almost the entire Pentateuch - could be reconstructed. To emulate the original, the Jerusalem Crown is laid out in three columns and employs a unique typeface re-creating the calligraphy of the Aleppo Codex. The census for the chapters and verses as well as the names of the weekly torah portions and their divisions for the synagogal reading were added. A short appendix explains the principles of the text recreation and lists the deviations from the standard Leningrad Codex. Dr. Mordechai Glatzer, a globally recognized expert in the history of printing, edited the companion volume. It contains contributions on various aspects of the manuscript's significance and an in-depth description of its history. Notably, Dr. Yosef Ofer's introduction to the Masorah clarifies from where the codex's authority stems and why its text can be regarded as nearly error free. The prestigious Special Edition of the Keter Yerushalayim is limited to 480 hand-numbered, gilt-edged copies. They are bound in richly embossed and partially gold-tooled crimson leather, accompanied by the companion volume. History Aaron ben Moses ben Asher wrote the Aleppo Codex in the year 930 in the city of Tiberias. This codex consisted of 480 pages and contained all parts of the Old Testament, the 5 books of Moses (Torah), the prophets and the scriptures. The codex was stolen in the 11th century and brought to Egypt. It is believed that Maimonides copied from it in Cairo when he wrote his own Torah scroll. From Cairo the codex was moved to Aleppo in the 14th century where it remained in the Jewish community for more than 500 years. The community held the "keter" in very high esteem - there was a strong belief that the manuscript symbolized its well-being. When in 1947 anti-Jewish riots took place in Syria as a reaction to the United Nations resolution to divide Palestine and the synagogues in Aleppo were burnt, the manuscript was in great danger: Presumably damaged, it was hidden until it could be brought to Israel in 1958. Unfortunately, a considerable portion - almost the entire pentateuch - was missing, only 294 pages could be found. It is due to nearly 20 years of dedicated work by the renowned Scholar Rabbi Mordechai Breuer that the lost parts could be reconstructed. Today the codex itself can be found in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem in the "Shrine of the Book".

"In Crown of Aleppo, Hayim Tawil and Bernard Schneider tell the incredible story of the survival, against all odds, of the Aleppo Codex—one of the most authoritative and accurate traditional Masoretic texts of the Bible. Completed circa 939 in Tiberias, the Crown was created by exacting Tiberian scribes who copied the entire Bible into book form, adding annotations, vowel and cantillation marks, and precise commentary. Praised by Torah scholars for centuries after its writing, the Crown passed through history until the 15th century when it was housed in the Great Synagogue of Aleppo, Syria. When the synagogue was burned in the 1947 pogrom, the codex was thought to be destroyed, lost forever. That is where its great mystery begins. Miraculously, a significant portion of the Crown of Aleppo survived the fire and was smuggled from the synagogue ruins to an unknown location— presumably within the Aleppan Jewish community. Ten years later, the surviving pages of the codex were secretly brought to Israel and finally moved to their current location in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. "

Here is the tale of Godfrey de Montferrat, a boy who became both a monk and a knight who swore an oath to defend the Kingdom of Jerusalem. It is also the tale of that kingdom, which men called Outremer-The Land Beyond the Sea. With the miraculous success of the First Crusade, all said that the heroic tales of old had come to life in that place. By Godfrey's time-the late 12th century-the Kingdom is dying, chivalry fading, hope growing cold, and foes pressing hard from every side. But Godfrey stands in contradiction to the prevailing rot-a young man striving to live up to the heroic ideal. Surrounded by greed and corruption, Godfrey must determine where his true loyalties lay: to friends? to prince? to love? to God? Around Godfrey swirl the loves, betrayals, triumphs, and disasters of the Kingdom's waning years. Knight of the Temple weaves together an exciting, multi-layered and historically faithful tale of the Land Beyond the Sea. From the desert wastes of Egypt, to the bustling streets of medieval Antioch, to the Holy City of Jerusalem itself, Nathan Sadasivan paints a vivid portrait of the Crusades strewn with unforgettable characters - Amalric, the ill-tempered King of Jerusalem; Malik, the proud young Saracen; Jacques, Godfrey's childhood friend; Tristan, the single-minded swordmaster, and Andronicus, the enigmatic Byzantine prince, among many others Knight of the Temple is the first book in the Crown of the World trilogy.
