So you mean telling the truth, as Tischendorf did, is redefined by YOU as "a cute trickster argument"?
Sure.
He omitted the major spot where Zosimas would be helpful, the Old Testament and the Apocrypha and falsely implied that the NT would close the issue. To be fair, Tischendorf also mentioned the two main books where Sinaiticus is more influenced by Latin or Syriac, Tobit and Judith, and thus distant in those books from the Zosimas Moscow Bible, which is all in the Greek tradition starting from Alexandrinus.
Another interesting example of Latin influence is the sophisticated rubrications, formatting and headings of Song of Songs. Zosimas does not have that, since it represents a Greek tradition. I mentioned this earlier and cjab responded:
Colometry has been dated to 2nd/3rd century Greek manuscripts of the Septuagint.
Bruce Metzger: "Manuscripts of the Greek Bible," 1981, p.38-40 notes that codex Vaticanus (B) and codex Sinaiticus (aleph)) copy the ‘poetical’ books of the Septuagint colometrically—Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Job, Wisdom of Solomon and Ecclesiasticus.
As for the New Testament, the oldest colometric arrangement is codex Bezae (D) (5th century), but this is certainly to indicate patterns of breathing and phrasing rather than anything about poetry or traditional material. (PEPPARD "‘Poetry’, ‘Hymns’ and ‘Traditional Material’," JSNT 30.3 (2008) 319-342).
Per Metzger, p.39 "Colometry is the division of a text into κώλα and κόμματα, that is, sense-lines of clauses and phrases so as to assist the re ader to make the correct inflection and the proper pauses. It was applied to the Septuagint Greek text of the poetical books of the Old Testament. One of the earliest examples of a portion of the Septuagint arranged in cola is the second- (or third-) century a.d. Bodleian fragment of the Psalms [Edited by J . W. B. Barns and G. D. Kilpatrick, Proceedings of the British Academy, xliii (1957), pp. 227 f.]" [/QUOTE]
However, none of this compares to the sophisticated rubrications, formatting and headings of the speakers, with commentary, given in the Sinaiticus Song of Songs.
That is totally in the style of the late Latin manuscripts, this is covered very nicely by Jay Curry Treat in:
Lost Keys: Text and Interpretation in Old Greek "Song of Songs" and Its Earliest Manuscript Witnesses (1996).
