This is a little complex since there are multiple monastery libraries involved.
Steven (Avery): I was looking for an online link to the listing of the library holdings of Mt. Athos, remembering that such a listing played a significant role in the fraud.
Can you point me to one?
Here is a quick skecth.

This next was posted by Maximos Constas, so he might have more info.

This next confirmed Simonides working on manuscripts with Kallinikos in exactly the right time and place. Stephen may want to study that history, it was given special emphasis in Literary Forgeries by James Anson Farrer in 1907.
