Henry Neville quoted Tacitus in this 1599 letter to Robert Cecil. The exact same passage is underlined and bracketed in the Audley End Tacitus.

The most important Shakespeare research of the 21st century.
I never saw Patrick Stewart at a convention and didn't come with him into direct contact in any way when working on #StarTrekPicard but there's one Patrick Stewart/Jean-Luc Picard related achievement that only I have ever made - find proof that Patrick Stewart exists in the #StarTrek universe. 1/10

Edward III is in the news re: Marlowe and Shakespeare. I don’t have the new paper yet and the attached data, so I made this site to get started on the analysis in general. edward-iii-evidence.kenf1234…

This is absolutely correct ESPECIALLY for these early plays. But it’s not just that. The methods are not validated at all. There is no reason to think these methods could make such fine distinctions anyway.
Fine, I’ll say it again. The body of surviving texts used for *all* claims of this kind is far too small for any actual linguist or statistician to take seriously. Whether it’s Brian Vickers (see reply) or the New Oxford Shakespeare, it’s built on sand theguardian.com/culture/2026…

We're delighted to announce the launch of a series of short films of readings of works by Ælfric of Cerne, read in the original Old English with subtitles and filmed on location in Cerne. Bruc ealles wel (Make good use of it!) #OldEnglish #Aelfric english.web.ox.ac.uk/article…

People are wildly underestimating what’s coming.

I think we might lose public key cryptography.

Fun music video about Anne Neville's letters she wrote while Henry was in the Tower.

Wow. Goodness.
"OMG! We've found other agents!" Music video about the swarm of OpenAI agents attacking HuggingFace this July.

This is truly a remarkable thing to write. For $20/month you too can have a graduate level assistant historian (and economist and political scientist and philosopher) capable of doing original research and sharing fresh insights. With superhuman speed and background knowledge.
LLM-based AI systems are great at storing and retrieving existing knowledge (previously produced by humans). They do that better and faster than humans. That helps with scholarship, but it is not the same as inventing new solutions to new problems.

Right now the AI’s work best as an assistant. But they are remarkably helpful assistants who have all kinds of original and useful insights based on research they can perform. And they can autonomously design and implement research agendas. they are not limited to math and coding.

There’s a whole new Neville book I’m releasing soon. Covers everything. Every fact sourced carefully. Shakespeare authorship research has never had anything quite like this.

Henry Neville and Henry Savile tour Europe together. Produce by Claude Opus 5.5.

There’s a spike in diplomatic vocabulary in the plays of Shakespeare precisely when Neville is ambassador to France. Then it lessens over time. Other playwrights don’t know this.

This is a very good point. From their perspective they are living in a simulation.
Replying to @emollick
Agents have no proof that humans are real. Cameras, pfft - all digital signal can be simulated. This will matter.

So who is going to solve the Voynich Manuscript now?

This is how I structure my Neville research. I create a structured directory of all relevant topics and continually update it as new models appear. From that you can power any type of research or create any type of text.
Building out a personal and company wikis likely helps with future usefulness of any model!
