Hi,
A friend was talking to somebody about something I’ve never heard of before. Some guy named “Tichendorf” found a copy of OT and NT manuscripts that were supposedly ancient, near Mt. Sinai at a monastary in the mid 1800’s.
Ok, I’ve found 2 articles that mention these manuscripts. And, not surprisingly, they have bipolar views of these manuscripts. Here’s quotes expressing the different views:
“The Sinaiticus is a manuscript that was found in 1844 in a trash
pile in St. Catherine’s Monastery near Mt. Sinai, by a man named Mr.
Tichendorf” [S5P61].
“The date of its writing is placed at around 340 A.D. …” [S4P20].
"The Sinaiticus is extremely unreliable, proven by examining the
manuscript itself.
“Philip Mauro was a brilliant lawyer who was admitted to the bar of
the Supreme Court in April 1892. He wrote a book called ‘Which Version’
in the early 1900’s” [S5P61]. He writes concerning Sinaiticus …
“From these facts, therefore, we deduce: … the impurity of the
Codex Sinaiticus, in every part of it, was fully recognized by those who
were best acquainted with it, and … it was finally cast aside as
WORTHLESS for any practical purpose” [S5P61].

Ok, and the other side:
**The story of the discovery of the Codex Sinaiticus, is full of interest to all truth lovers. Dr. Constantin
Tischendorf, the great German scholar, who gave his life to research and
the study of ancient manuscripts of the Scriptures, found the Codex Sinaiticus
very unexpectedly in St. Catherine’s Convent on Mount Sinai, in the desert
of Arabia. He calls it the “pearl of all his researches,” and is the most
complete and perfect of the three great witnesses.

Ok, I’m not wanting to get into a big discussion necessarily about every
single manuscript of Scriptures, but have any of you heard of this
and what have you learned/understood?
