t was found at St. Catherine's monastery in the binding of another book. Apparently the finder made a quick announcement without a great deal of explanation.
St. Catherine's Monastery, built in the 6th century AD.
St. Catherine's Monastery is an Orthodox monastery on the Sinai peninsula at the foot of Mount Sinai in Egypt. One of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world, St. Catherine's incorporates the burning bush seen by Moses and contains many valuable icons. Above the monastery is Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. Because God spoke to Moses in these places, this area is sacred to three world religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

In real estate location is everything! but it will be interesting to see what the fragment contains. The codexsinaiaticus project has been putting much of the codex material online.

This is the place where Tischendorf “discovered” an alexandrian manuscript in the trash and fished it out.
