Default UK to Lose Codex Sinaiticus to Monastery in Egypt?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...565403,00.html
  • "THE British Library is facing the possible loss of one of its most important manuscripts, the world’s oldest Bible, to a Middle Eastern monastery.

    The fear is raised weeks after the institution was told by a government advisory panel that a 12th-century manuscript in its collection was looted from a cathedral near Naples during the Second World War and must be returned."

I love the way the writer glides over the problems of Canon by including out Hermas and Barnabas. You can see why people don't know this stuff, because nobody informs them of the issues, even by allusion.
