Part 1: Who wrote the deceptive Codex Sinaiticus?

Answer: Constantine Simonides wrote Codex Sinaiticus. In Constantine Simonides' own words, he stated:

"I sailed from the Piraeus in the month of November, 1839, and landed again at Athos for the fifth time. After a few days I undertook the task of transcribing the Codex, the text of which, as I remarked before, had many years previously been prepared for another purpose." (Letter of C. Simonides, The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record, April 1863 [which is in Page 228 of The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record)].)

"I undertook this work then, not as a tyro, but as one versed in the ancient writing, for before this work, as I have menitioned above, I had written the Olynthiacs of Demosthenes in ancient characters, and had copied at twelve years Oifage the ancient inscriptions in the Aegina collection, besides four of the services at Mount Athos, in 1837, in golden letters, ancient and modern" (Letter of C. Simonides, The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record, April 1863 [which is in Page 229 of The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record)].)

"Besides, the penmanship of the Sinaitic Codex is my more usual style;... (Letter of C. Simonides, The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record, April 1863 [which is in Page 229 of The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record)].)

"I wrote letters not long since in the same style with a common pen and upon ordinary paper to the Editor of the Guardian; to Professor Shillito or Cambridge; Mr. Henry Bradshaw, keeper of MSS. in the university library of Cambridge; ...To Mr. H. Bradshaw I wrote as follows:
Dear Sir—They who believe the Sinaitic Codex to be ancient are deceived, for I am the worker of the miracle, and many of the witnesses are still alive. Farewell.— Christ's College, Oct. 7, 1862.' (Letter of C. Simonides, The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record, April 1863 [which is in Page 229 of The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record)].

Herein, Constantine Simonides admitted:
1) That he started to work on writing Codex Sinaiticus in November 1839
2) That Codex Sinaiticus (which Simonides calls as "Sinaitic Codex") is not ancient
3) That the same penmanship style that he used to write to Mr. H. Bradshaw in the 1800s, was also the same penmanship style that he utilized when writing what he called the "Sinaitic Codex" (also known as Codex Sinaiticus)

The "Codex Sinaiticus" is a massive, hoaxed codex that is from the 1800s, not from the 4th century AD.
