חֲכָמִים מִתְּקוּפַת סוֹף הָאֶלֶף הָרִאשׁוֹן שֶׁהֶעֱלוּ עַל הַכְּתָב אֶת מָסוֹרוֹת הַקְּרִיאָה הַקְּדוּמוֹת שֶׁל הַתָּנָ"ךְ וּבָהֶם כְּלָלִים שׁוֹנִים בִּכְתִיבַת הַתּוֹרָה כְּגוֹן: תִּקּוּן סוֹפְרִים, קְרֵי וּכְתִיב, תָּגִים לָאוֹתִיּוֹת וְכַדּוֹ'.

("וְכֵן נִתְחַדְּשׁוּ מַחֲלוֹקוֹת בֵּין הַמְּדַקְדְּקִים בַּעֲלֵי הַמָּסוֹרָה וּבֵין הַחֲכָמִים בַּעֲלֵי הַדְּרָשׁ כְּמוֹ שֶׁנְּבָאֵר בִּפְרָטוּת, מִלְּבַד מָה שֶׁנִּתְחַדְּשָׁה מַחְלֹקֶת בֵּין הַמְּפָרְשִׁים בְּעִנְיַן הַהֲלָכוֹת בְּכַמָּה עִנְיָנִים, וְאַף בְּעִנְיַן חֲסֵרוֹת וְיִתְרוֹת שֶׁהִיא אַחַת מִן הַדְּבָרִים הַחֲמוּרִים שֶׁבָּהּ"- קִרְיַת סֵפֶר (לִמְאִירִי) הַקְדָּמָה, וְכֵן: "וּכְבָר מָסְרוּ בַּעֲלֵי הַמָּסוֹרָה דְּכָל סֵפֶר בְּרֵאשִׁית"-מַלְבִּי"ם וַיִּקְרָא פֶּרֶק א)
