If you look at old color images that show both together, you can see that Sinaiticus and Alexandrinus look more or less the same regarding their base color: https://ferrelljenkins.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/sinaiticus_bm_fjenkins_1976slide-t.jpg Alexandrinus is just not equally well preserved, whi...

I felt the Skeat and Milne quote is the most important, as they were handling the two manuscripts: Alexandrinus ... the vellum itself now has a: "limp, dead appearance in marked contrast to the vellum of the Codex Sinaiticus" We can see pictures of the pages of Codex Sinaiticus being turne...

Codex Alexandrinus "the vellum has fallen into holes in many places, and since the ink peels off for very age whensoever a leaf is touched a little roughly, no one is allowed to handle the manuscript except for good reasons." - Scrivener Alexandrinus ... the vellum itself now has a: "...

The Wikipedia and tiografos pics look the same, with the watermark for the British Library.

Those are from two separate "deliveries", right? 1844 Lepizig is fully white parchment, with barely any stains on the 43 leaves. 1859 St. Petersburg to the British Library There are the same as super-supple young ms. 1859 is unevenly coloured throughout (The NT somewhat less so than the O...

If I have not overlooked something the official chronological order of discoverings is 1844 - Tischendorf reports that he discovers 129 leaves, takes 43 leaves 1845/1850 - Bishop Porphyrius sees the remaining 86 sheets and discovers 260 more sheets, he takes 4 further fragments 1853 - Tischendorf d...
