Steven (Avery): I was looking for an online link to the listing of the library holdings of Mt. Athos, remembering that such a listing played a significant role in the fraud. Can you point me to one?

This is a little complex since there are multiple monastery libraries involved.

Here is a quick sketch.

Manuscripts from the Monasteries of Mt. Athos (Online collection)

This next was posted by Maximos Constas, so he might have more info.

p. 28 has seven mss. of Panteleimon, 5 are Revelation!


This next confirmed Simonides working on manuscripts with Kallinikos in exactly the right time and place. Stephen may want to study that history, it was given special emphasis in Literary Forgeries by James Anson Farrer in 1907.

Greetings,
Thank you for your inquiry, I believe all the digitized documents are on this site:
https://www.loc.gov/collections/man...steries-of-mount-athos/about-this-collection/
You should be able to access these documents online. I am also cc'ing my colleague Andrew Gaudio for any further input he might have.
I hope this is helpful,
Best Regards,
