"All this time, too, the real test of the genuineness of the Codex Sinaiticus is neglected. The public were assured that in May Tischendorf was to be in London, armed with a portion at least of his great Codex. I have waited in England hoping to have the opportunity of meeting him, face to face, to prove him in error; but May has come and gone, and the discoverer has not appeared." - Simonides
Scrivener went into this as well, maybe others

Here is the Literary Churchman:
In the following year Tischendorf published a pamphlet "Die Anfechtungen der Sinai Bibel" (Leipzig 1863) which begins with what The Literary Churchman review of 1st July 1863 [said was] "a flippant tirade against Simonides" which is "mere banter and ridicule and does not advance anything in the shape of legitimate argument against Simonides". The Literary Churchman in fact had been proposing throughout the controversy that the two men meet. For example in its issue of 16th January, 1863 we read:
We venture to propose at once that Dr. Tischendorf be invited to meet M. Simonides, and challenge him to the proof of his "authorship" of the now supposed "Sinaitic MS".We are willing to be of any use in convening a meeting on the subject, if MM. Tischendorf and Simonides will inform us of their desire to effect it. We shall be glad to receive communications at once from all who can assist us in bringing matters to an issue. But this came to nothing. Elliott p. 34
Again. I seriously assert (as Mr. Bradshaw seems to think I am jesting on this grave subject) that I wrote the Codex, to portions of which Tischendorf has given the names of Friderico - Augustanus and Sinaiticus; and I challenge him to produce these Codices in London. I will meet him there at any time he may appoint, and in a public meeting of literary men assembled for the purpose it shall be once and for ever decided whether he or Simonides has spoken truly.

Mr. Davies shirks my query about Tischendorf: when is he coming? Elliott, p. 113, July,. 1863
