Let the Record Show

I’ve been working hard to share as many documents as possible here and on the archive I’m building at https://rudolphvalentinodocuments.blogspot.com/.

This is the legacy Renato and I built—stone by stone, page by page, year after year. I post it so the record stands, so honest researchers and curious minds can see the work for what it is: authentic, original, and ours.

But inevitably, there are those who see this not as history shared, but as a buffet to raid. They take what we post, strip our names away, and parade it as their own discovery. They’ve done it for years—without shame, without honesty, without even the faintest blush of conscience.

By shameless, I mean exactly that: no shame. No integrity. No understanding of what it means to create something from the ground up. Their “research” amounts to a right-click and a download.

People often alert me—sending examples of how these same individuals boast about “their findings,” when the truth is they lifted them directly from my work. I’ve seen it myself too many times to count.

The worst offenders are Cindy Martin, Simon Constable, and Eleanor Gribbin.

They are not researchers. They are scavengers—desperate to appear relevant, incapable of producing original work, feeding off what Renato and I built.

Will my saying this make them stop? Hardly. Parasites rarely stop feeding on their own.
But let the record show: I know exactly who they are, and I will continue to publish, document, and expose—because truth, once made public, cannot be stolen.

Responding


From my victorious lawsuit v. David Bret. The original filing:


Re: the screenshot below: Renato's fine translation of the Valentino biography by Jeanne De Recqueville made this historically important work available to an English speaking audience for the first time. It was not appropriated but artfully presented with a cover image as tribute to Ms. De Recqueville's original work. We purchased the cover image. This exchange is defamatory and proves the censorship being conducted on these forums and the manipulation of the Valentino narrative.
