1 The Late Constantin Tischendorf and Codex Sinaiticus: New Testament Textual Criticism without Them—An Exercise in Erasure History 15-54
Eldon Jay Epp

p. 26
31 Gregory, Canon and Text, 339-340, who states that the three volumes were "so carefully printed as to be almost as good as facsimiles," but he also reports that Tischendorf's intention thereby to commemorate the Russian anniversary was thwarted inexplicably by “jealousy on the part of some of his enemies in Russia"—without further explanation. See also Bentley, Secrets of Mount Sinai, 99-100; Parker, Codex Sinaiticus, 138-140. Space precludes discussing Constantine Simonides’ claim that he himself had forged the Codex in 1840 and situated it in St. Catherine’s Monastery where it conveniently could be found later by Tischendorf: Bentley, Secrets of Mount Sinai, 100-102; esp. J.K. Elliott, Codex Sinaiticus and the Simonides Affair: An Examination of the Nineteenth Century Claim that Codex Sinaiticus Was Not an Ancient Manuscript (Thessaloniki, Greece: Patriarchal Institute for Patristic Studies, 1982), 26-121.
