Overview

Excerpt from Introduction to the Massoretico-Critical Edition of the Hebrew Bible Nothing can be more explicit than the directions given in the canon before us as to the Order of the books. Yet, the oldest dated Biblical ms. Which has come to light deviates from this order. The St. Petersburg Codex which is dated A. D. 916 and which contains only the Latter Prophets has yet a List of all the Prophets, both Former and Latter, and in this List the order is given as follows: The Former Prophets - Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings; the Latter Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the Minor Prophets. 1 Here, then, the sequence of the Latter Prophets is not that which is prescribed in the Talmud.
