ReceptioGate, Carla Rossi, and the Plagiarism Smear: A Documented Truth

In December 2022, Peter Kidd published a blog post titled “Nobody cares about your blog!” on his personal site Medieval Manuscripts Provenance. It launched a defamatory attack against Prof. Carla Rossi, falsely accusing her of plagiarism and questioning her pioneering research on medieval manuscripts.

This page responds with documented evidence, public sources, legal references, and open-access publications.

What the Blog Post Got Wrong

Peter Kidd is not affiliated with any university or research institution. His blog is not peer-reviewed and has not been updated in over a year. The 2022 post includes:

• Quotes taken out of context or deliberately altered
  
  

• Misrepresentation of publishing timelines
  
  

• Use of screenshots and materials stripped of their source metadata
  
  

• Personal attacks based on false or unverifiable claims
  
  

It is important to note that this blog was also used to smear other scholars involved in the recovery and protection of manuscript heritage, including Prof. Giovanni Mazzarelli.

Conclusion

False accusations of plagiarism have long been used as a tactic to silence independent scholars, especially women. Prof. Carla Rossi’s research on dismembered manuscripts is fully documented, transparent, and peer-reviewed. The #ReceptioGate campaign is now exposed for what it is: a coordinated attempt to discredit ethical scholarship.

For the facts, rely on primary sources. Not personal blogs.
