Ben-Asher, Aaron ben-Moses
- Ben-Asher, Aaron ben-Moses
(9–10th century)
Tiberias masorete. Aaron was the fifth and last generation of a famous masoretic family that lived in Tiberias. The masoretes dealt with the textual and grammatical problems of the Bible, the vocalization and accentuation of the words, and the cantillation signs. Aaron’s readings of the text came to be regarded as authoritative, and MAIMONIDES’ acceptance greatly helped to establish their trustworthiness. Although the printed Hebrew Bible of today closely follows Aaron’s text, there are some differences, mainly in the placing of the accents and certain vowel signs. Aaron also left a Hebrew grammar that attempts to work out coherent rules.
