My Last Day Off, Spent it at the Russian State Archive Site

Post by Secret Alias »

I went through 15,000 digital scans in the Russian State Library.  These are all the closest matches from the 17th century.  When you have nothing to do.  Let's at least come to the same conclusion as my professor friend = the letter to Theodore resembles a document from the 17th century.  
No rush.  Thanks

Constantine Simonides worked in the Russian Historical Archives c. 1869, after he faked his death in Egypt (by leprosy!).

the Russians hire Simonides to prepare historical documents after the 1867 fake obituary

My conjecture is he got there after making an arrangement with Tischendorf to be quiet about Sinaiticus.
