=====================================

You ask me to entrust you with my fragments of the Sinaitic Codex [Or: “the Codex Sinaiticus”] for three months, which I took from the convent itself on Mount Sinai (year 1850), and the two small ones which I peeled from the binding of a Greek book in the library at Jouvania (year 1861).

Uspensky took

Genesis - 1850

Numbers - Juvania - 1861

Hermas - 1850

One moment, please...

You ask me to entrust you with my fragments of the Sinaitic Codex [Or: “the Codex Sinaiticus”] for three months, which I took from the convent itself on Mount Sinaї (year 1850), and the two small ones which I peeled from the binding of a Greek book in the library at Jouvania (year 1861).

This can help with the timeline.

Tentatively we have Uspensky taking:

Genesis - 1850 (section in the acrostics controversies)
Hermas - 1850 (this was from the spot where Tischendorf likely truncated Hermas)

Numbers - Juvania - 1861 - (two years after Tischendorf massive activity at Juvania)

Judith - (washed sheet, acquisition unknown, published after 1900, Uspensky presumed)

=================================

New Testament Publishing in 1857 (before 1859)

1 Corinthians

Also
Genesis 24 was a photo-plate

=================================

There was a lot more in the books, 1856 and 1857, including a lengthy description from Song of Songs in the 1856 book from the 1845 visit.

..Porphyrius brought with him from Sinai some fragments of the Codex Sinaiticus itself,91 containing portions of Genesis and of Numbers.92

91 Strictly, the leaf from Numbers came from the monastery's metochion [= associated compound] in Jouvanie, Cairo . Uspensky removed it in 1861.
