Can you flesh this out for me with a little more description - I'm very interested and didn't know anything of the manuscript's travels, but your writing is too cryptic for me to follow. What was the money to Simonidies for, and who from?The manuscript had made it to Sinai traveling from.Athos to Constantinople (Constantius gave Simonides real $ for some mss. Including the biggy) to Antigonus Island. When Tischendorf stole the leaves in 1844, he surely had heard about it coming from Constantinople. So to travel back through Constantinople when leaving Sinai was a good fact-finding mission that could help with leverage for getting more leaves.
Constantinople was then a great center of the Greek Orthodox church, but it was also a headquarters of the Jerusalem Patriarch; is there any known crossing of the path of the manuscript with the Jerusalem patriarchy on it's way to Ste. Katherine's?
The Greeks refer to the Jerusalem Patriarch as the Phanar, after the part of Istanbul where his headquarters is. The current Phanar is a wildcard and has been a willing familiart of the globalists, and is being used to destroy what was one of the biggest churches in Christendom: the Ukranian Orthodox Church.What' I learned recently that Mt Athos is under the Patriarch of Constantinopole:
The Holy Mount is a self- governed part of the Greek state, subject to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in its political aspect and to the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinopole as regards its religious aspect.
