There was a certain Lunacharsky among the Bolsheviks' narcomom of enlightenment, whose confusing biography does not match his meaty nose in any way. Among his teachers, Lunacharsky names a certain Richard Avenarius, who introduced him to the foundations of Marxism. Under the influence of this person, the future drug lord wrote a two-volume book "Religion and Socialism", where the forgeries of manuscripts are told directly, including the codex that I talked about here. How did Richard learn about it? So he was the son of the one who forged the codex. Avenarius himself writes about this in 1877 in his "Trekhmesyachnike nauchnoi philosophie" (Vierteljahrschrift f;r wissenschaftliche Philosophie). That is, Lunacharsky knows that the codex kept in Russia, which is considered the autograph of the New Testament, is the most common forgery, born in England (they worked on it in Switzerland).

Let's just say that the government didn't pay anything, they just slapped the Americans, and you paid all the expenses. There is a scheme of usual oblaposhivaniya. The Pindos even asked to be sued, but at that time they were not yet modern USA.
A few days before Christmas, the manuscript was transported under guard to the British Museum. A thorough paleograficheskoe study of manuscripts carried out by the staff of the museum, X. Milne (N. J. M. Milne) and T. by Skeat (T. S. Skeat), and his results were published in a book entitled "Scribes and Corrections of Codex Sinaiticus", London, 1938. New information appeared about the c
