Yes, ignore that comment on my part -- it was the fruit of over-active but
inadequately-informed thinking on the part of a novice, and Elaine Keown
already pointed out the error. I re-read the book I had been reading, and
it said that the Leningrad is viewed by all to be a *good* examplar of the
ben Asher tradition, but that Allepo is considered by many to be the best.
