Interested in learning about the script and scribes of the #Voynich manuscript (Beinecke Library MS 408)? Of course you are! Check out my keynote on "Voynich Paleography" from the Voynich2022 conference (https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3313/) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUq5pa5r9sQ&t=2s

I just posted a Twitter thread about why the #receptiogate episode is actually more than just a sordid tale of plagiarism, stock photos, fake identities, website chaos, and likely grift (as if all that isn't enough!). It's also about intellectual honesty. https://twitter.com/lisafdavis/status/1608173867889201152

@SJLahey @Marphurius @taoish Oh my

Meanwhile, over on Twitter... #Receptiogate

@huss @Marphurius oh my...

@Marphurius #Rossi seems to say that the stock photos on the #Receptio pages are due to a technical problem. That doesn't seem credible to me. Among other things, #Kidd posted a link showing pages that have recently been deleted from reception.eu: https://web.archive.org/web/diff/20221130193323/20221225114026/https://www.receptio.eu/operationalstaff There I find an image of myself, clearly a photomontage that I never knew anything about.

@Marphurius I took part in the first meeting of this body and then carefully withdrew, obviously they wanted to use us primarily to involve illustrious guests. As far as I know, there have been no activities of this institute, we haven’t received any update via email. #receptio #receptiogate

Amazing mic-drop moment when Rossi says that Sotheby's ALSO used Kidd's work without citing him, and he responds "Yeah, well, I WROTE the Sotheby's catalogue." BOOM

Today's #receptio updates: a new message from Rossi on Academia.edu (https://www.academia.edu/93739429/Dear_Dr_Kidd_I_am_writing_to_explain_to_you_point_by_point_the_great_mistake_you_have_made_and_are_still_making) and two new responses from Peter Kidd (https://mssprovenance.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-receptio-rossi-affair-iii-my.html) and (https://mssprovenance.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-receptio-rossi-affair-iv-my.html)

If you're just waking up and want to catch up on #Receptiogate, here's a great Twitter thread that summarizes the story thus far (worth noting that as of this morning the page of non-existent "scientific operational staff" has been removed from the site): https://twitter.com/JPeterBurger/status/1607328204108484614

@SJLahey yup

@MartinFoysOEPF Yeah, that kind of sums it up.

In other news, Happy Hannukah, Mastadoners! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCYyHLin0lI

@taoish @michaelmeckler @SJLahey @glennf @erik_kwakkel @karlsteel @wynkenhimself What she claims to be doing is studying and reconstructing Books of Hours that were dismembered recently, by current dealers, and sold off page by page. That's certainly a worthy goal, but that whole enterprise is tainted by their intellectual dishonesty.

@erik_kwakkel @SJLahey @glennf @taoish @kawulf @karlsteel @wynkenhimself I agree with Erik - Stephanie, you might want to write to Peter with your findings and let him run with it.

@aaronm @SJLahey @erik_kwakkel @michaelmeckler @glennf @taoish @wynkenhimself @karlsteel I've written to those people on the list whom I know.
