Had it not been for Tischendorf those manuscripts would still be left going to rot and ruin in the monastery unavailable to anyone.

"Had it not been for Tischendorf those manuscripts would still be left going to rot and ruin in the monastery unavailable to anyone."

Sort of the same excuse for breaking the Eighth Commandment used to justify the actions of that equally disgusting thief and liar Elgin. At least we have the satisfaction, courtesy of +Paul, of knowing the eternal destination of those two heterodox thieves.

He "borrowed" them only to sell them to the Russian Czar, only so the non-believing Bolsheviks would sell them to the British. You are giving Tischendorff way too much credit.
