Greetings! I have a question about a reference that is in a book by Luciano Canfora. You can see some of the relevant text on the two urls.
Il viaggio di Artemidoro (2010)
https://books.google.com/books?id=slC8ywpEIGQC&pg=PA236
"... la possibilità di ispezionare i manoscritti greci: in particolare gli interessavano i frammenti del Sinaitico portato in Germania da Tischendorf nel 1844"
and
https://books.google.com/books?id=f5A8FING5iEC&pg=PA253
"Come raccontò poi il suo ex amico e maestro privato di greco antico Lykurgos, gli interessavano i fogli del Sinaitico che Tischendorf aveva portato in Germania dopo il primo soggiorno a Santa Caterina del Sinai."
There is a reference about Simonides and Lykurgos, in the context of the Codex Frederico-Augustanus (the white parchment part of Sinaiticus that went to Leipzig in 1844, before the bulk of the manuscript was coloured yellow and taken to St. Petersburg in 1859.) The ms. is called Sinaitico in the book where it makes this reference, which is a smidgen anachronistic
.
Having the full text of that part of the correspondence (probably Greek, published in a German book or Journal) would be very helpful for Sinaiticus historicity and authenticity.
While I have some leads on the various writings by and about Lykurgos, so far I have not pinned down this question, and I do not see a footnote.
Any help in tracking down the original source would be most appreciated. And I will share with anyone interested the details available to date, beyond those two quotes above.
Thanks!
