Rabbi Mordechai Breuer began his own reconstruction of the Masoretic text on the basis of other well-known ancient manuscripts. This secrecy made it impossible to confirm the authenticity of the Codex, and indeed Cassuto doubted that it was Maimonides' codex, though he agreed that it was 10th century. The only modern scholar allowed to compare it with a standard printed Hebrew Bible and take notes on the differences was Umberto Cassuto.

The Aleppo community guarded the Codex zealously for some six hundred years: it was cept in a special cupboard (later, an iron safe) in a basement chapel of the synagogue. It is rumoured that in 1375 one of Maimonides' descendants brought it to Aleppo, Syria, leading to its present name. It was preserved at the Rabbanite synagogue in Cairo, where it was consulted by Maimonides, who described it as a text trusted by all Jewish scholars. The codex was transferred to Egypt, whose Jews paid a high price for it. After the Fall of Jerusalem (1099) during the First Crusade, the synagogue was plundered and the Crusaders held the codex and other holy works for ransom.

The caraite Jewish community of Jerusalem received the book from Israel ben Simha of Basra sometime between 10, about a hundred years after it was made.

The codex has loeng been considered to be the most authoritative document in the masorah ("transmission"), the tradition by which the Hebrew Scriptures have been preserved from generation to generation. Ben-Asher was the last and most prominent member of the Ben-Asher dynasty of grammarians from Tiberias, which shaped the most accurate version of the Masorah and, therefore, the Hebrew Bible.
