Tischendorf reported in his 1865 book Wann Wurden Unsere Evangelen Verfasst, translated to English in 1866 as When Were Our Gospels Written in the section "The Discovery of the Sinaitic Manuscript" that he found, in a trash basket, forty-three sheets of parchment of an ancient copy of the Greek Old Testament, reporting that the monks were using ...
The manuscript was brought by Constantin von Tischendorf in 1845 and in 1853 from Sinai. Tischendorf edited its text in Monumenta sacra inedita. [4] [5] The codex is divided, and located in three places: Russian National Library (Gr. 16, 1 f.) in Saint Petersburg — Matt. 12:17-19.23-25
Tischendorf died before he could finish his edition, and the third volume, containing the Prolegomena, was prepared and edited by C. R. Gregory and issued in three parts (1884, 1890, 1894). [3] [4] Tischendorf gave the evidence known in his time. He used 64 uncial manuscripts, a single papyrus manuscript, and a small number of minuscule ...
The manuscript was brought from the East by Constantin von Tischendorf (hence the name of the codex), who also examined, described, and was the first scholar to collate its text. The manuscript was also examined by scholars like Samuel Prideaux Tregelles, Ernst von Dobschütz, and Gächler. It is housed in the Bodleian Library.
This manuscript was a part of the same codex to which Uncial 0285 belonged. The Greek text of this codex was influenced by the Alexandrian text-type with some alien readings. Aland placed it in Category II. [2] In 2 Corinthians 2:2 it contains reading και τις εστιν (as א 2 D F G Ψ) for και τις (as א* A B C 81). [5]
The story of how Tischendorf found the manuscript, which contained most of the Old Testament and all of the New Testament, has all the interest of a romance. Tischendorf reached the monastery on 31 January; but his inquiries appeared to be fruitless. On 4 February, he had resolved to return home without having gained his object:
One part of the codex was found by Tischendorf in an eastern monastery in 1853, another part in 1859. [7] As a result, the codex is divided and housed in two places. 158 leaves were bought in 1855 and they are housed in the Bodleian Library (Auct. T. infr 2.2) in Oxford and 99 leaves of the codex are located now in the National Library of Russia (Gr. 33) in Saint Petersburg.
Opposite each section was written its number, and underneath this the number of the Eusebian table to be consulted in order to find the parallel texts or text; a reference to the tenth table would show that this section was proper to that evangelist. These marginal notes are reproduced in several editions of Tischendorf's New Testament.
