-	Tischendorf was born in [[Lengenfeld]], [[Kingdom of Saxony\|Saxony]], near [[Plauen]], the son of a physician. Beginning in 1834, he spent his scholarly career at the [[University of Leipzig]] where he was mainly influenced by [[Georg Benedikt Winer\|JGB Winer]], and he began to take special interest in [[New Testament]] [[textual criticism\|criticism]]. Winer's influence gave him the desire to use the oldest manuscripts in order to compile the text of the New Testament as close to the original as possible.<sup>[]</sup> In [[1838 AD\|1838]] he took the degree of [[Doctor of Philosophy]], then became master at a school near [[Leipzig]].	+	Tischendorf was born in [[Lengenfeld]], [[Kingdom of Saxony\|Saxony]], near [[Plauen]], the son of a physician.

	After a journey through southern Germany and [[Switzerland]], and a visit to [[Strassburg]], he returned to Leipzig, and set to work upon a critical study of the New Testament text. In 1840 he qualified as university lecturer in [[theology]] with a dissertation on the [[recension]]s of the New Testament text — the main part of which reappeared the following year in the prolegomena to his first edition of the Greek New Testament. His critical apparatus included variant readings from earlier scholars — [[Elsevier]], Knapp, Scholz, and as recent as [[Karl Lachmann\|Lachmann]] — whereby his researches were emboldened to depart from the received text as used in churches.

-	These early textual studies convinced him of the absolute necessity of new and more exact [[collation]]s of manuscripts. From October 1840 until January 1843 he was in [[Paris]], busy with the treasures of the [[Bibliothèque nationale de France\|Bibliothèque Nationale]], eking out his scanty means by making collations for other scholars, and producing for the publisher, [[Firmin Didot]], several editions of the Greek New Testament — one of them exhibiting the form of the text corresponding most closely to the [[Vulgate]]. His second edition retracted the more precarious readings of the first, and included a statement of critical principles that is a landmark for evolving critical studies of Biblical texts.<sup>[]</sup>	+	These early textual studies convinced him of the absolute necessity of new and more exact [[collation]]s of manuscripts.

	From Paris, he had paid short visits to the [[Netherlands]] ([[1841 A1841]]) and [[England]] ([[1842 AD\|1842]]). In 1843 he visited [[Italy]], and after a stay of thirteen months, went on to [[Egypt]], [[sinai peninsula\|Sinai]], and the [[Levant]], returning by [[Vienna]] and [[Munich]]. In [[1844 AD\|1844]], he paid his first visit to the convent of [[Saint Catherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai\|Saint Catherine's Monastery]], on [[Mount Sinai]], where he found, in a basket, forty-four pages of what was the then oldest known copy of the [[Septuagint]]. He deposited them at the [[University of Leipzig]], under the title of the ''[[Codex Sinaiticus\|Codex Frederico-Augustanus]]'', a name given in honour of his patron, [[Frederick Augustus II of Saxony]], king of Saxony. The fragments were published in [[1846 AD\|1846]] although he kept the place of discovery a secret.
