Abstract
Codex Sinaiticus, the world’s oldest and most complete manuscript of a Greek Bible (4th century) has a complicated and exciting history. Re-discovered by the German Theologian Constantin von Tischendorf (1844/1859), the already split codex was transferred to Europe (Leipzig, St. Petersburg, London). The donation of its major part to Tsar Alexander II in 1869 caused controversies about ownership during the 20th century. Some years ago, the four different parts were, virtually, united again. This was the starting point for a new and intensive examination of this precious manuscript. The present article discusses some old issues in the light of new insights.
