Hello! I'm completely new to Hacker News, and did not know until just now that this conversation had been taking place here. I have been trying to keep up with developments on Twitter where I am @mssprovenance If people have specific questions I'll try to answer them, but I do not want to speculate directly about people's motives etc.; if you look at the tweets, you'll see that I try to stick to the facts. I should perhaps say that I am not a bot, and my blog is not monetized, so although I may earn some kudos for this episode, I have no prospect of financial gain! My blog is not anonymous, and the world of medieval illuminated manuscripts is fairly small and close-knit, so most people in that specialist world know who I am. The irony of the whole affair is that I am less bothered about the apparent plagiarism than about the way they treated me when I contacted them. Hope you all had a lovely Xmas!
