Codex Sinaiticus: The Discovery of the World’s Oldest Bible
Book •
Frederick C. von Tischendorf's writings recount his discovery and study of Codex Sinaiticus, one of the most important ancient manuscripts of the Christian Bible.
The work details the manuscript's uncovering at Saint Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sinai and explores its textual significance for reconstructing the earliest attainable form of the New Testament.
Tischendorf's scholarship promoted rigorous textual criticism and introduced many readers to the value of comparing ancient witnesses to the received medieval text.
His publications influenced 19th-century biblical scholarship and shaped ongoing debates about manuscript evidence and the history of the biblical text.
The discovery underscored how older manuscript witnesses could alter understanding of textual variants and later printed editions.
