Is this related to Nikolos Farmakidis ?
Written by
Hlias K. Cyprios,
a Dodecanese politician



Konstantinos Simonidis (1820-1867) belongs to the category of those people whom nature has rarely endowed with such a brilliant mind of universal radiation, who conquered and charmed the entire intellectual world of his time, but at the same time attracted the envy and slander of the world Intelligence, as a result of which he was slandered by her as a "forger" and "adventurer", while, 150 years after his death, careful examination, with the method and means of modern technology, rules in favor of the authenticity of the famous ancient papyri and documents of.

Konstantinos Simonidis was born in Symi in 1820 and the registry act of his birth should logically be registered in the archives of the Demogerontia of the Municipality of Symi.

From the first years of his student life, he showed a strong interest and adoration for ancient texts, to later develop into a demigod collector of them. He spent his entire father's fortune traveling incessantly plowing the world in order to locate and purchase papyri, parchments, palimpsests and ancient manuscripts from monasteries, private individuals, antique dealers, etc.

Without being surrounded by the monastic form, he stayed for several years in the Athenian State to study and immerse himself in the early Christian manuscripts and effectively contribute to their preservation and rescue, which had been worn out by the use made by the monks in their daily prayers.

Simonides initially causes excitement and is praised by the world intelligentsia as the savior of ancient writing.

As is well known, the Intelligentsia has always been and is constituted by academics, artists, teachers, writers, self-proclaimed "wise men" and generally the entire system and establishment of the society of letters. The biggest newspapers in the world dedicated to Konstantinos Simonides eulogies, praises and praises.
He associates, corresponds and meets with the leading intellectuals of his time, who wish to meet him and study the ancient precious documents he possessed.
The authentic texts of Constantine Simonides attracted the keen interest of Kings and wealthy collectors, who offered him huge sums of money.
The letters of John and Judas, of which he was unjustly accused of forgery, were finally proved to be genuine, as was also that of Androsthenes, Admiral of Alexander the Great, as well as the precious manuscripts of Archimedes, Cicero, Pliny, etc. using X-rays and wavelengths of light.

However, as soon as the Intelligence spread its marginalization and began to sense that its primacy and cerebral scientism were threatened by the genius of Constantinos Simonides, it changed its behavior drastically.

Excitement and praise turned into unfounded accusations, and they began - knowingly untruthfully - to claim that they were all misled and deceived by the gifted and eminent archeologist Symia, that they allegedly did not perceive the forgery of his ancient papyri and documents and that they could not establish their true chronology, despite their supposed authority and expertise for which they themselves contended, and did not hesitate to question even the authenticity and genuineness of his degrees, precisely because their "highest" interests were at stake.

This anonymous behavior of the Intelligence did not surprise or surprise Konstantinos Simonides.

But it caused him deep sadness, because the systematic defamation and the organized slander and plagiarism against him also marked the end of his brilliant reputation and his career. In order to earn a living, he is forced to offer his services as an interpreter and eventually goes to the patriarchate of Alexandria from which he is assigned the duties of bishop of Ethiopia. His death occurred in Alexandria in 1867. Ancient parchments and other precious ancient documents from his collection are in the museums and great libraries of the world and very many have ended up in the Sinai Monastery.

The house of Constantinos Simonides in Symi was opposite the municipal pharmacy.

Today, alongside the foreign writers who dedicate articles and publish books about the ignored and grossly wronged Konstantinos Simonides, we Dodecanese must highlight the personality of this genius Symian with the global reach, influence and impact, who literally shook the intellectual world of his era.

A serious effort was made during the Mayorship of Kostas Kypraios by the late Symia journalist and writer Michael Skeofylakas, through the newspapers of "Dodekanisos", "Simaika Nea" and "Symi", which unfortunately did not continue after their death.
The vindication of Constantinos Simonides, which comes 150 years after his death, should be expressed in practice with similar events throughout the Dodecanese, in order to maintain an imposed and well-intentioned balance.

===========================

Simonidis is now justified!
"The justification of Constantinos Simonidis, which comes 150 years after his death, should be expressed and in action with similar events throughout the Dodecanese, in order to maintain an imposed and well-measured balance. "

Comments from the blog above

nikolos June 1, 2020 at 2:34 pm I am the author of the second article, Nikolos Farmakidis. Now that I have finished my book on the life of Simonides I can say that: He was a great genius, quirky but with a lot of knowledge, which gave him the opportunity to discuss with the greatest European academics of his time. His knowledge on the subject of palaeography, which he acquired from his Symia teachers, is unmatched even today. Proof is the matter of Artemidorus in Italy. My book shows when he was born, who his parents and siblings were, what he studied, what he said and what he did, when he died and how. So there are no dark sides in his life. The only dark thing I found is the intentions of all those who accuse it of real and even more of imaginary things.

Answer lsim June 15, 2020 at 6:53 am Mr. Farmakidis, thank you for your comment. I will buy your book to learn more about this really interesting story.

    Είμαι ο συγγραφέας του δεύτερου άρθρου Νικολός Φαρμακίδης.
    Τώρα που τελείωσα το βιβλίο μου για τη ζωή του Σιμωνίδη μπορώ να πω ότι: Ήταν μια μεγάλη ιδιοφυΐα, ιδιόρρυθμος μεν αλλά με πολλές γνώσεις, που του έδωσαν και τη δυνατότητα να συζητά με τους μεγαλύτερους σε Ευρωπαϊκό επίπεδο Ακαδημαϊκούς της εποχής του. Οι γνώσεις του πάνω στο αντικείμενο της παλαιογραφίας, που απέκτησε από τους Συμιακούς δασκάλους του, δεν τις έχει κανένας ούτε σήμερα. Απόδειξη είναι το θέμα του Αρτεμίδωρου στην Ιταλία. Στο βιβλίο μου αποδεικνύεται πότε γεννήθηκε, ποιοι ήταν οι γονείς και τα αδέλφια του, που σπούδασε, τι είπε και τι έκανε, πότε πέθανε και πως. Δεν υπάρχουν λοιπόν σκοτεινές πλευρές στη ζωή του. Το μόνο σκοτεινό που βρήκα είναι οι προθέσεις όλων αυτών που το κατηγορούν για πραγματικά αλλά και περισσότερο για φανταστικά πράγματα.

Cypriots questions - find email

Does he know about Sinaiticus

Specific mss of Simonides in Sinai

Other Greek writers like him and Farmikidis

The letters of John and Judas, of which he was unjustly accused of forgery, were finally proved to be genuine, as was also that of Androsthenes, Admiral of Alexander the Great, as well as the precious manuscripts of Archimedes, Cicero, Pliny, etc. using X-rays and wavelengths of light.

Farmakidis

Is the Callistratus that Simonides knew “spiritual father” the same Kallistratos who became Archbishop of Sinai v. 1869 and helped resolve the dispute on Sinaiticus by signing it over to the Russians for some $.

#2 Dionysus the calligraphist
