No argument. But it just so happens that you, speaking from both sides of the mouth at the same time, declared that the book is a reliable reference work for scholars in OUR time, and that it can be trusted and relied upon, and that is why the name of the lady is Sidney-Pratten and not Sidney Pratten. >And Matanya knows about the Bergier, Ungay, entry because I told him about it. Indeed. That is the amazing thing is that on one hand you can denounce Zuth for Bergier Ungay, and at the same time praise him for Sidney-Pratten and that yankee Ernest Shand. You got caught with your pants down on this one, and perhaps it ought to teach you the lesson that printed text is never trustworthy and reliable. And if you have not learned this in graduate school, you are carrying this academic phoney title on false pretenses. >Ready reference materials were not known in those days. That's why it is such a shame that Ophee published the Codice Lauten-Buch without taking a day or two to track down the composers and correct titles. His edition ignores a century of musical scholarship. That's a goddam lie! All the available scholarship on this Codex was either quoted or made reference to, including your contributions to theHoban book. >It's just another Chilesotti Rip-Off. No better than the zillions before his. The only previous publication which deals with the entire Codex, besides the Forni unauthorized facsimnile, was the one by Dick Hoban. Is this the one you are referring to? And besides, even though the book is in the public domain, I did obtain the full agreement and permission of the Breitkopf & Haertel. Hence, the charge of a rip-off is a stupid cheap shot. Swift boating me here is not going to get you out of the hole you dug yourself into. My advice to you: stop digging.
