Any of you guys good with manuscripts?[edit]

or at least have university accounts with lots of access? John of Eversden, one of the guys credited with part of the Bury Chronicle, has fairly surreal problems with his page's "manuscripts" section. Inter alia, it discusses a medieval MS that has nothing to do with him as "the current edition" and then seems to misname another MS that it discusses as though it were now entirely lost, instead of sitting in the College of Arms. Antonia Gransden probably has 2 or 3 books that would clear this up, but they're recent and expensive enough to be restricted access.

(What we could probably use would be a single for Bury Chronicle/Chronicle of Bury St Edmunds/Cronica Buriensis article for John of Taxster and John of Eversden to point at or even merge into but, same problem, it's all a bit of mess without access to some recent sources to clarify exactly who contributed to which MSS covering which periods.) — LlywelynII 13:33, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LlywelynII: I've got Gransden's two vols on the history of the abbey, but not her critical editions, unfortunately. She also wrote a couple of articles/chapters, as well as Eversden's ODNB entry. I think the most recent trans is Greenway/Sayers of Jocelin's chronicle, which I can also access, but that might not help so directly. Let me know if you want them. ——Serial Number 54129 10:02, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Much in that section is copied from the old Dictionary of National Biography. Gransden (in the ODNB) mentions London, College of Arms, Arundel MS 30 and West Suffolk Record Office, MS A 8/1 as the only complete copies of this recension. She considers the authorship attribution to be weak though, pointing to p. 584 n. 9 in the MGH edition and an article by V. H. Galbraith.

I have access to a library with many manuscript catalogues, when I'm not traveling, like now. Let me know if you need a scan of a particular manuscript description. I should also be able to access Stegmüller's Repertorium Biblicum Medii Aevi, where another work ascribed to John of Eversden is treated. The online version an the University of Trier is currently offline. HHill (talk) 12:48, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stegmüller no. 4462 just refers to Jacques Lelong: Bibliotheca sacra. Vol. 2, Paris 1723 p. 717, who depends on Bale. I'll try to check Richard Sharpe's Handlist soonish. HHill (talk) 11:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He agrees with Gransden. HHill (talk) 18:31, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Boogi wu and their hoaxes - moved from WP:ANI[edit]

Though Boogi wu (talk · contribs) has been blocked and locked years ago, I found some of their hoaxes are still in the current article.
For example

Flags of the Holy Roman Empire, section of 14th century, the banner are still the one they added as "King of the Romans"
Church of Greece, the founder are still the one they changed as Dionysius the Areopagite (tradition)

Is there any sysop or common user who are familiar with history can reviewed their edits one by one? These hoaxes are scattered on Middle Age history. Or, where should I post this notice on? -Lemonaka 01:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
