More attempts to get my Rossi blogposts deleted have been fruitless; Google has reinstated all of them.

When I have time I'll be putting the blogposts on my own webspace and ensuring that they are archived and indexed, so that they can be read in perpetuity.

#ReceptioGate

Most people who follow me here probably do so because of the #ReceptioGate affair that played out at the end of 2022 and early 2023.

I have tried to ignore the plagiarist Carla Rossi as much as possible for the past 6 months, but she has been unrelenting in her gaslighting and publishing of new lies online in the interim, so I have written a new blogpost to highlight her recent behaviour:

Since I'm stuck inside again, tell me a podcast I should listen to.

There can be only one! You get one choice, don't give me a list of 5, I can't do it.

Give me an episode that you think best represents the podcast.

This week's blogpost (in which I identify a text that has eluded scholars for more than a century):

"Inclitus" Identified

@erik_kwakkel suggested that I introduce myself.
I've mainly worked in the library and museum world, but have been freelance since 2006.
There's a bio on my page here: http://manuscripts.org.uk/
I blog at https://mssprovenance.blogspot.com/ to share observations/discoveries that are not worth the time and effort that traditional academic publishing would require.
I like to think that I am an approachable and friendly introvert, but as one good friend once observed, I have "a low bullshit-tolerance threshold"!
