The curious element pre-1844 is Tischendorf being lauded by Jesuits and the Pope in the early 1840s. Almost worship, a poem or song in Tischendorf’s honor. Very strange. When did that crew ever laud Protestants?
Then Tischendorf quickly runs over to Sinai, St. Catherine’s, to begin the process of “discovery” of the hilariously ancient like-new manuscript. Which has every single word of the New Testament in glorious ready to help be a corruption counterfeit pretender against the hated Received Text. Hort had said that Tischendorf would find “rich materials” for their Westcott-Hort recension in progress. We have to wonder if that New Testament was made to order.
Later in 1871 Tischendorf let slip that he did a Vaticanus facsimile on the first papal trip.
Plus, as Stanley Porter points out, Tischendorf may have “helped” along the manuscript in various ways. E.g. those curious colophons, sitting perfectly in place on the (guffaw) random, accidental 43 leaves abstracted in 1844. Five full, intact quires, and part of a sixth, were removed by Tischendorf in a crafty theft.
Including the coloring and staining and apparent brush-marks that were hidden from almost all scholars until they became visible only in 2009. The artificial library and country separation and minimal accessibility left almost everyone in the dark about how the 1859 St. Petersburg manuscript had been tampered with to have an appearance of age.
Until 2009, the Codex Sinaiticus Project.
Although the Russian polymath Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov (1854-1946) knew in 1914 the manuscript was not ancient, by easily understood palaeography. Then the Russians dumped the beautiful, pristine, phenomenally good condition manuscript on the British marks. Whew, headaches begone!
Circumstantial considerations.
