Essentially, according to Tischendorf, who is responsible for making the Codex Sinaiticus available to mankind, the trail started in a wastepaper basket in St Catherine's Monastery. Tischendorf was the Indiana Jones of the oldest bible Codices. He travelled the world on a mission to make the oldest codices available to all mankind. We are privileged to be able to help finish that mission.
