Atikkun ortiqqun (Hebrew:תיקון) is a book used byJews to prepare for reading or writing aTorah scroll. There are two types of tikkun, atikkun qorʾim "reader's tikkun" and atikkun soferim "scribe's tikkun".
Atiqqun qorʾim "readers' tikkun" is a study guide used when preparing aTorah reading for asynagogue. Each tikkun contains two renditions of theMasoretic Text. The right side of each page is written with theniqqud (vowel marks) andHebrew cantillation, while the left is written in unpointed Hebrew as it appears in aTorah scroll. Reciters must master the tune ("trope," Hebrew:טעמי המקרא,romanized: taʿamē hammiqrā) and pronunciation of the words beforehand because a Torah scroll itself has neither niqqud nor cantillation marks and because there are places where the word to be read differs from that written in the scroll (theQere and Ketiv).
Atiqqun soferim (scribes'tikkun) is similar but is designed as a guide or model text for scribes. It contains additional information of use to scribes, such as directions concerning writing particular words, traditions of calligraphic ornamentation, and information about spacing and justification. For instance, it indicates how many letters there are per line, measured inyodh-widths because it is the smallest Hebrew letter.[1]
