Part 4 continued: On Sinaiticus, Constantine Simonides mentions witnesses who saw & were involved with Simonides writing Sinaiticus+letting others see it+sending it to Sinai Monastery
The witnesses include: Dionysius (the Panteleemon monastery's caligraphist on Mt. Athos), Germanus who sent Sinaiticus to Sinai, Hadji John Prodromos who read through Sinaiticus, & Constantius who Simonides mentioned as sending him the receipt of Sinaiticus by way of "Deacon Hilaron". Also, Simonides explained he can point out 2 distinct seperate pages in Sinaiticus, & his uncle Benedict's & Dionysius' corrections & marks on Codex Sinaiticus. (The Journal of Sacred Literature 1862-10: Vol 2 Iss 3, Page 250 Link). Why did Tischendorf not ask any these persons that Simonides mentions about them reading & seeing Sinaiticus from 1839 to 1860s onward?
