Codex Sinaiticus Download3/29/2021
The story of the discovery of aleph is one of the most fascinating and romantic in textual history.Can you prove the perverted Sinaiticus was found in a wastebasket.It turns out that the scholar I trusted, Constantin Tischendorf, who supposedly discovered the Sinaiticus, lied about what really happened.This amazing story, with evidence, is covered in my book Is the Worlds Oldest Bible a Fake (2017).
Nevertheless, the wastebasket story has been repeated for over 150 years. Catherines monastery, deep in the Egyptian (Sinai) Peninsula. Then Ill present my conclusion, based upon the new evidence Ive found. The following are various scholars who recite this incident and about what happened to the texts. It is no coincidence, as a defender of the Received Text, that he was not invited to join the Revision Committee in 1871-1881. After the English Revised New Testament and its corrupted Greek text were released in 1881, Burgon wrote in The Revision Revised (1883), p. Had B Vaticanus and ALEPH Sinaiticus been copies of average purity, they must long ago since have shared the inevitable fate of books which are freely used and highly prized; namely, they would have fallen into decadence and disappeared from sight. Dr. Hort contends that Vaticanus lay perdu (abandoned) on a forgotten shelf in the Vatican library;- Dr. Tischendorf, that Sinaiticus had been deposited in a waste-paper basket in the convent of St. Catherine at the foot of Mount Sinai;- from which he rescued it on the 4th of February, 1859; -neither, we venture to think, a very likely circumstance. We incline to believe that the Author of Scripture hath not by any means shown Himself so unmindful of the safety of the Deposit, as these distinguished gentlemen imagine. Dr. Benjamin G. Wilkinson (early 1900s) In 1930, Benjamin Wilkinson published Our Authorized Bible Vindicated in England and America. In it he documented both the Preserved and Perverted manuscripts. Sinai illustrates the history of some of these later manuscripts. Tischendorf was visiting this monastery in 1844 to look for these documents. He discovered in a basket, over forty pages of a Greek manuscript of the Bible. He was told that two other basket loads had been used for kindling. ![]() He was about to give up in despair and depart when he was told of a bundle of additional leaves of a Greek manuscript. When he examined the contents of this bundle, he saw them to be a reproduction of part of the Bible in Greek. Great was the joy of those who were agitating for a revision of the Bible when they learned that the new find was similar to the Vaticanus, but differed greatly from the King James. Nix Geisler and Nix (Later 1900s) in 1968 published (through the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) the definitive work for Fundamentalists on the manuscripts of the Bible.
