Remember, too, that Tischendorf would rig the Sinaiticus facsimile he created, like at 1 Timothy 3:16. Here we go.
Die Sinaibibel: Ihre Entstehung, Herausgabe und Erwerbung (1871)
Konstantin von Tischendorf

Die ältesten griechischen Handschriften, weiche die europ?ischen Bibliotheken besassen, hatte ich nicht nur gesehen, sondern auth zum Behuf einer neuen griechischen Paleographie studirt, zum Theil, darunter die Vatikanische Bibel, mit eigener Hand facsimilirt.

Kyrillos was in the process of cataloging the library when Tischendorf arrived at the monastery .... Not until 1871, three years before his untimely death, did he describe in his book The Sinai Bible – Its Discovery, Publication and Acquisition his version of having found it: ... I had studied them as well for the purpose of a new Greek paleography, and in some cases, including the Vatican Bible, had facsimiled them with my own hand.
and copied some of them, including the Vatican Bible, with my own hand.. (The Bible Hunter, p. 95)
========================
Jurgen writes that Tischendorf was "mistaken". Conceivably he was mixing up his visits to the Vatican 20 years later with his labours on the Sinai Bible. Or, more happened in the 1840s visit than is normally explained.
We also have his unusual claim to have transcribed the whole New Testament of the Codex Vaticanus in only 14 hours in his later visit.
