#ReceptioGate: Academic Defamation and the Dismemberment of Manuscripts

Beschreibung

This expanded edition of #ReceptioGate: Academic Defamation and the Dismemberment of Manuscripts presents a verifiable account of a coordinated campaign of reputational damage targeting Prof. Carla Rossi, a senior European scholar. Based on legal records, archival documents, and public sources, the book reconstructs the creation and algorithmic amplification of false claims across blogs, social media, and press articles. It includes a structured timeline, institutional evidence, and selected online content. A reference work for scholars, cultural heritage professionals, and legal experts, this edition aims to document the attack and preserve a truthful, citable counter-narrative. A second volume on institutional complicity is in preparation.

Autor

Jordi Puig is a retired art conservator with decades of experience in the preservation of medieval panel paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and rare books. His professional career has combined technical expertise with historical research, focusing in particular on the production, dismemberment, and digital reconstruction of manuscript heritage in Catalonia and the broader Mediterranean region.As a senior member of the Organisation pour la Protection des Manuscrits Médiévaux (OProM), Puig has contributed to key international initiatives aimed at safeguarding manuscript culture from biblioclasm, illicit trade, and institutional inaction. He played a leading role in the digital reconstruction of the Madruzzo Book of Hours, a 15th-century Flemish manuscript illuminated by Marie Vrelant and dismembered in 2017. His monograph, "The Madruzzo Book of Hours, a Dismembered Manuscript Illuminated by Marie Vrelant" (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2025), reconstructs the manuscript's history and artistic context while addressing the legal and ethical implications of its commercial dispersion.Puig continues to work as an independent scholar, advocating for provenance transparency, manuscript integrity, and ethical standards in heritage preservation.He is also the author of "The ReceptioGate Affair: Truth, Defamation, and the Struggle Against Manuscript Dismemberment", a volume that documents the defamatory campaign waged against Prof. Carla Rossi following her efforts to expose the international trade in dismembered manuscripts. Puig's contribution analyses the structural complicity between antiquarian markets and certain academic circles, and calls for stronger safeguards in manuscript studies.
