In recent years, the name Peter Kidd has become synonymous with two interconnected phenomena: the commercial laundering of excised manuscript leaves and a virulent campaign of defamation against those who expose this practice. Far from being isolated events, the De Roucy Hours affair and the smear campaign known as #ReceptioGate represent two chapters of a broader pattern—one that must now be publicly documented and addressed.
