====================... to be more slender than in the context The letter peculiarity is quite observable in Tischendorf's Facsimile (Tab. XIX.); but we cannot much rely on Facsimiles for a point so delicate. Tregelles, to whom the German critic showed the original passage, is convinced that the hand-writing is the same as that in the rest of the chapter, only that the scribe, when he had completed v. 24, dipped his pen afresh into the fluid, which afterwards flowed more freely.

====================... Tischendorf had such keen insight, he spotted, what has since been confirmed to be a later addition to the last verse of St John's Gospel (John 21:25). The verse reads, "There were many other things that Jesus did; and if all were written down, the world itself, I suppose, would not hold all the books that would have to be written." Tischendorf noticed that the lettering of this verse was slightly different than the rest, and that the color of the ink was slightly different there than anywhere else in the whole manuscript. Tregelles, a prominent religious scholar disagreed that this verse was an addition. He felt that it was more likely that a scribe had merely taken a fresh dip of ink. Tischendorf had a bitter feud with Tregelles over the issue, and later wrote to a friend that "it is simply impossible for me to be wrong on this matter." After his death, Tischendorf was vindicated when the codex was examined under ultraviolet light, and it was seen that there had been two additions at the end of John: The first had added the phrase, 'The Gospel according to John', but another person had erased this and written verse John 21:25 over it.
