On Korah: Text and Manuscripts

Go to the Moses and Aaron group, the Visual edition.

Iste chore litigauit contra aaron de sacerdotio, eo quod ipse fuerat de primogenito, scilicet ysuar , et ideo cum .ccl. igne diuino periit; dathan quoque et abiron tunc sunt absorti .
This Korah quarreled with Aaron about the priesthood, because he was descended from the firstborn, that is Izhar, and therefore he and 250 others perished in divine fire. Dathan and Abiron were also consumed.

Image excerpts from the manuscripts (as grouped by main graph versions) are the result of tool-based image annotation (via Cadmus) or manual extraction. For each manuscript version only these visually annotated manuscripts are listed here. For the grouping of all manuscripts we provide a separate list (Manuscript groups). Transcriptions are semi-diplomatic following project specific rules.
