>>>>> I have discovered an instance of plagiarism in a late

>>>>> plagiarized a late Italian fifteenth-century writer who had been

>>>>> Catholic author not to reveal his source so as not to be seen as
>>>>> fraternizing with the outcast.
>>>>>
>>>>> From a quick scan of bibliographical references, I am sure plagiarism

>>>>> plagiarism was considered as inappropriate then as we consider it

>>>>> Could anyone recommend essential studies that address generally the

>>>>> Finally, still on the topic of plagiarism, would anyone, esp.
