"And I don't want to presume to earn the price of the precious imperial splendor - edition of Sinaiticus (at 230 thalers), which he set for the refutation of his palaographic judgment."



Und ich will mich nicht anheischig machen, den Preis der kostbaren kaiserlichen Pracht - Ausgabe des Sinaiticus (zu 230 Thlr.), welchen er auf die Widerlegung seines palaographischen Urtheils gesetzt hat, zu verdienen.

Adolf Hilgenfeld's pithy comment, to the point, and helps expose the TIschendorf charade. Not only did he not have scholar's access to the manuscripts, he could not even use the real facsimile edition without forking over big $$$.
