italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear Elisabetta,
I suggest that you let your Head of department and Dean know what is happening, just to safeguard your position in the University, then take Virgil's advice to Dante: Non ragionam di loro, ma guarda, e passa. It sounds like an attempt to unsettle you; as such, it must fail.
Best wishes,
Brian

italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Cara Elisabetta,
come tutti sappiamo, poiché i tuoi lavori sono catalogati e visionabili in tante delle nostre biblioteche, non mi preoccuperei troppo per le parole di una persona che è, chiaramente, incompetente, to say the least!

Un caro saluto,
Manuela Gieri

Dear Colleagues

I am writing to ask for help with something incredible that is happening. Someone came to me the other day and said that there are people going round saying that some of my publications do not actually exist, that I've made them up (!)

Obviously, I have paper copies I can show either in person (if you are in the Coventry area or nearby) or on Skype if anyone is interested. But it would be a really great help if some of you could look them up in a library near you and post or tweet that you've seen them (no more than four or five posts on this list, please - I do not want to swamp it with my problems). I think the publications in question are mostly these: 

“Le due versioni del foglio D della Cena de le Ceneri.” Bruniana & Campanelliana 10.2 (2004): 413-424.

“Sailing off on the Adel: Alessandro Baricco’s Metaliterary Trilogy (Part I).” Romance Studies 25.3 (July 2007): 241-255; Part II: Romance Studies 25.4 (November 2007): 323-337.

“Petrarca, Bucolicum Carmen I (Parthenias)”, in Filologia e storia letteraria. Studi per Roberto Tissoni. Eds. C. Caruso and W. Spaggiari. Rome: Edizioni di storia e letteratura, 2008, pp. 47-56.

Fulvae Harenae: The Reception of an Intertextual Complex in Dante's Inferno.” Classical Receptions Journal 4.1 (May 2012): 90-126.

I'm really sorry to be taking up your time with this, but I do not know what else to do.

Many thanks to all

Elisabetta
