Diane,
I am only interested in setting the record straight, about Marci, and about the historical research that has been done.
Stephen Bax was not misled or fooled by anyone about the herb identifications of Edith Sherwood. He is quite clear about that on his own blog:

(scroll down to point 7.1).
The only one harshly attacking him is Nick Pelling. While he has a longer and deeper background on the MS than Stephen, I cannot agree with his wording. Everybody else seems happy to stay out of that argument.
I don't agree with Stephen's theory, I don't agree with Nick's "Averlino" theory and, for that matter, I don't agree with most aspects of yours. However, I can say so without ever getting personal, and by providing verifiable arguments and references.
