There are much higher research priorities.
Feel free to ask for commentary from Arabic epigraphical and palaeographical experts. In my experience they have not weighed in on Sinaiticus.
List your priorities?
As is your usual wont, you fixate upon some radical and unprovable opinion (indeed nothing more than a conjecture by his own analysis), here offered by the 19th century author Donalson, whose speculations hold little authority in modern research, to formulate a conspiracy theory. which you erroneously label "research." Many writers now see the Palatine as a 4th century Latin translation. commensurate with the era of Sinaiticus (see "The Christology of the Shepherd of Hermas: Investigating the Shape of Early Christology" by Mina Fouad Tawfike Salib), so your conspiracy theory would not prove anything as to the date of Sinaiticus, even if could be shown to have merit (which is a long way off). For uncertainty pervades everything Donaldson says:Also features that indicate Sinaiticus dependence on later manuscripts, including later Latin manuscripts.

How often has this changed?The current priorities involve textual issues that show relationships between Sinaiticus scribes or correctors and individual manuscripts.
Also features that indicate Sinaiticus dependence on later manuscripts, including later Latin manuscripts.
Well, there's not many scholars around today who see other than a Latin name in Maximo. I have asked you before to explain the issue, in all its gory detail, but you have remained silent. From which I conclude you don't fully understand the issue yourself.On Maximo, you simply do not understand the retroversion argument, most of this was on a thread that was deleted after some rants by a non-Christian writer. From my perspective, your comments were helpful, nonetheless. At the moment, I don't see much purpose in going over your confusions again.
How often has this changed?
How do you classify later Latin manuscripts? Are you a student of Latin or are you just pretending?

Your priority changes. How often have these changed.How often has what changed?
The features in the Latin manuscripts are referenced with their dates, locales, libraries, script, etc.
There is no particular need to "classify".
Your making many assumptions here. If you going to question one document, you need to be honest and sincere in establish what you do not question..It was explained to you, but the non-Christian rants caused the thread to be deleted. I have my bookmarks from that thread, on a puter that is out of commission for a day or three, and I have the information summarized in a special writing.
You cherry-pick your quotes, since the Vulgata Hermas is generally considered hundred of years earlier than the Palatine. The issue is not what is given "authority", the issue is the indications that the Sinaiticus Greek is in various spots, indicative of having a Latin-->Greek transmission history And that, in cases like Maximo, the Latin is the Palatine.
When you go through the Tischendorf arguments, you have to drop any where Sinaiticus does not have text, also any where the Athous and Sinaiticus texts differ. You are still left with a good number of strong attacks against the dating of the Athous (and Sinaiticus) manuscripts. These attacks by Tischendorf were made before 1859, so they have a special "clean room" element.
"Old" doesn't mean authoritative, for the reason I have explained: it is thought that there were multiple versions of the Greek Hermas, which is independently discernible without recourse to Sinaiticus. The Vulgate was based on one such version, and as has been remarked, the vulgate is "liberal" in translation. The original Greek text of Hermas is deemed unrecoverable.It was explained to you, but the non-Christian rants caused the thread to be deleted.

This is unsubstantiated, for this specific reason: Hermas was written in Rome, possibly as early as AD70, and from someone not particularly well educated and not refined in the Greek language, as were the apostles. For this reason it contained Latinisms from the inception, and is different from the New Testament canonical writings. So you cannot say " indicative of having a Latin-->Greek transmission history" without a qualification if it being "unsubstantiated conjecture." Who are the modern scholars that support you?The issue is not what is given "authority", the issue is the indications that the Sinaiticus Greek is in various spots, indicative of having a Latin-->Greek transmission history And that, in cases like Maximo, the Latin is the Palatine.

He has no skill with Latin.You didn't mention your skill with Latin. Care to answer?

You have no data on which to state the above. Maximo is a Latinism, deriving from the Latin name "Maximus". There is no need to "explain the magna" in the Vulgata, which clearly uses a different Greek version to Sinaiticus, or else was a liberal translation wide of the mark. Maximo is also found in Hermas Bodmer Papyri XXXVIII, as well as in the Mt. Athos Hermas, and so its dissemination was widespread in the Levant in Greek manuscripts. As for correlations between these manuscripts: per PAPYRUS BODMER XXXVIII. Erma: II Pastore (Ia-IIIa Visione), edito con introduzione e commentario critico da ANTONIO CARLINI (con la collaborazione di LUIGI GIACCONE) and the review of the same by A. Kirkland Novum Testamentum, Vol. 34, Fasc. 3 (Jul., 1992), pp. 302-303:Maximo does not arise from a Latinism, it comes from an error in the Latin tradition, and it does not explain the magna in the Vulgata. I pointed this out to you numerous times and you only threw sand.
