Some notes on sources on post #2
===========
BEGIN
N.A. Morozov had the opportunity to PERSONALLY examine this Codex Sinaiticus.
And here is what he says:
"Upon careful examination of the Codex Sinaiticus in the manuscript department of the Public Library, my attention was first of all drawn to the fact that the parchment sheets of this document were not at all frayed at the lower corners, not dirty or soiled by fingers, as should have been the case with a thousand years of use"
[12], p. 258. Note that N.A. Morozov could notice all this only because he was lucky enough to HOLD this document IN HIS HANDS. But, for example,
“on the phototype images taken from it (SA: a reference to the Kirsopp Lake two editions of Codex Sinaiticus), published in England, the pages APPEAR MUCH DIRTIER THAN THEY REALLY ARE,"
writes N.A. Morozov [12], p. 259. This is strange. After all, the quality of professional photographs even at the beginning of the 20th century was quite high. Did the publishers of the photocopy of the Codex Sinaiticus try to give it an "ancient look"?
"What seems especially interesting to me," continues N.A. Morozov, “is the internal condition of the parchment of the Codex Sinaiticus. Its sheets are very thin, beautifully crafted and, what is most amazing, they HAVE RETAINED THEIR FLEXIBILITY, they have not become fragile at all! And this circumstance is very important for determining antiquity. When we deal with documents that have really lain for a millennium, even under the best climatic conditions, then often at the slightest touch to their sheets, they break into tiny pieces ... The excellent condition of the internal sheets of the Codex Sinaiticus with obvious traces of careless handling by the monks, who tore off its binding and tore off the outer sheets..."
[12], p. 260. As for the TORN BINDING AND OUTER SHEETS, this really looks extremely strange in combination with the excellent preservation of the codex itself. But it was on the binding and on the outer (i.e. first and last) sheets that the ISSUE DATA OF THE MANUSCRIPT were always indicated. Who, where, how and when it was made, or copied, etc. And the binding itself can tell a lot about the time and place of its manufacture. Therefore, it seems that the binding and outer sheets of the Codex Sinaiticus could have been torn off not by the monks, and not by those who used it, but, for example, by Tischendorf himself. In order to hide the obvious traces of the late origin of this manuscript.

In conclusion, we will tell the reader some details of the discovery of the Codex Sinaiticus by Tischendorf. When Tischendorf came to the monastery of St. Catherine in search of ancient manuscripts, "he noticed in the library, in the middle of the hall, IN A BASKET FOR DISCARDED PAPER, scraps of parchment, discarded and intended for the STOVE. Following his SCIENTIST INSIGHT, he took one of the sheets and recognized in it an excerpt from a VERY ANCIENT manuscript of the Bible; this manuscript also included the next 129 sheets, which he pulled out of the basket. He managed to acquire 43 sheets" [157], pp. 606–607. With these sheets he returned to Europe, and then came here again several times. In the end, the manuscript "was found in full" and was sold to the Russian Tsar for 9,000 rubles of the time. "Which was quite a lot at that time" [157], p.607. This whole story lasted 15 years - from 1844 to 1859. There is something strange in all this. Let us recall that the manuscript seen by N.A. Morozov was in excellent condition. And yet, supposedly, it was treated so barbarously by ignorant monks. They tore it to shreds, threw it into a dirty basket, and used it to light a stove...
