****Its name comes from the fact that the manuscript was discovered in 1844 by Tischendorf (1815-74) in the Orthodox monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai. It thus found its way into the Imperial Library at St. Petersburg.****

Typical sleezoid. Borrowed a book from the Sinai Library and never returned it. Pull his card!

Its name comes from the fact that the manuscript was discovered in 1844 by Tischendorf (1815-74) in the Orthodox monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai.

The article fails to mention that the scrolls were in the trash container at St. Catherine's. The residents used the scrolls for igniting the fireplace until they discovered that they were worth something to the Count Tischendorf.

The elephant-in-the-room question that never gets asked is why the monks themselves did not value them.

I’ve seen some very interesting articles about this text in “Archaeology” magazine. Iirc, one of the monks responsible for conserving and photographing the Codex is an American.
