  1. I started my day with a game of #RealTennis against an astrophysicist. He tells me that #ReceptioGate has reached their field, so it's not *just* of interest to those in a medievalist bubble!

  2. Last night I invented a new scientific procedure, which I call the Way Forward Rescue Method (all rights reserved for the next 20 years). Rather than reassemble manuscripts that were sold and dismembered in recent years, it focuses on manuscripts that are still intact and included in upcoming auctions (especially those with detailed catalogues written by expert consultants). Without revealing all the secrets of my new method, I can promise that it is highly efficient and teachable and should allow a graduate student under my guidance to produce a well-funded open-access digital edition in just 5-10 days, and without having to visit eBay even once.

    Seriously: all literary and historical scholars, not just medievalists, should keep an eye on auctions that include manuscripts and try to obtain as much information and as many images as possible of interesting lots. This includes correspondences, which are likely to be dispersed by dealers.

    To be fair, #receptiogate is a wild outlier - which is of course why it has drawn so much interest.

    #codicology and especially #fragmentology are highly collaborative, highly engaged disciplines. They are extremely poor choices for anyone considered a plagiarism-fueled scam, precisely because we read the papers and care what they say.

  4. @Marphurius vielen Dank. Ich fragte mich schon die ganze Zeit, ob @SNF_ch auf dem Laufenden ist und ob es eine Position von ihnen zu #carlarossi gibt #receptiogate
