Oldest Torah Manuscript

How old is the oldest surviving Torah manuscript?

I’m not sure if this is actually the oldest (and, to be precise, it’s not complete as parts of it were destroyed in a Syrian Pogrom in the 1940s), but a top contender would be the Aleppo Codex which was written in the 10th Century at the academy of Rabbi Aaron ben Moshe ben Asher.

With best regards,
Rabbi Boruch Clinton
