The Aleppo Codex information


The Aleppo Codex: A True Story of Obsession, Faith, and the Pursuit of an Ancient Bible is a 2012 book by Matti Friedman published by Algonquin.

First edition

The book tells the story of how the Aleppo codex, one of the world's oldest extant Bibles, was saved from destruction during the 1947 Aleppo pogrom, how it was smuggled into Israel, and what became of the missing pages.[1] The Wall Street Journal calls Friedman's book "a detective thriller," noting that, "not everything about the codex is as it seems."[2]
