Aaron ben Moses ben Asher (in Hebrew ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿; in Tiberian Hebrew ¿Ah¿rôn ben M¿¿eh ben¿¿¿¿r) (10th century, died circa 960) was a Jewish scribe who refined the Tiberian system for writing down vowel sounds in Hebrew, which is still in use today, and serves as the basis for grammatical analysis. For over a thousand years he has been regarded by Jews of all streams around the world as having produced the most accurate version of the masoretic text. Since his day, both handwritten manuscripts of the Tanakh and printed versions strove to emulate his achievement and continue to do so. He lived and worked in the city of Tiberias (Hebrew ¿¿¿¿¿) on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee (Hebrew ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿).
