The Sefer Torah is the oldest overfriendly skilled Torah scroll; in spite of that, it is not the oldest ongoing Torah. The Aleppo and Leningrad Codices, each of which hidden the skilled reproduction of the Hebrew Bible, were in black and white up to two centuries in advance the University of Bologna Torah scroll. The tenth-century Aleppo Codex, a 760-page parchment keep a record, was the oldest skilled Biblical reproduction containing the ape that was ultimately convinced and renowned as the maximum haughty reproduction in Judaism. The reproduction was skilled with vowel signs, punctuation, notations for liturgical chanting and textual notes.

Any the Aleppo and Leningrad volumes are codices (books with pages or vegetation), which are counterpart from scrolls. In a BAR highlight discussing the Leningrad Codex,** scholars James A. Sanders and Astrid Beck write:
As brood as the surpass century C.E., Christian scholars began transmitting their holy works in codices literally than scrolls, and by the third century the codex was archetype. In the Jewish world, in spite of that, the codex was not adopted until about the seventh century. The traditional scroll, or spasm book (Latin "uolumen", from which our word "position" comes), continues to be hand-me-down today for reading the sacred reproduction in synagogues.
