Torsten, as I have told you on many occasions, Archetype is only a tool. It was just a way for me to organize my thoughts. I can't share it, because it was a bespoke databank that lived on an old computer whose operating system is now out of date and unbootable. But that doesn't matter. Ultimately, my work depends on my own experience and expertise. Archetype didn't do the work for me. It's not a neural network. It's just a tool. You are welcome to disagree with my conclusions, as is anyone, as paleography is a subjective methodology. After thirty years of studying hundreds, if not thousands, of medieval manuscripts, cataloguing and describing them, publishing five books and dozens of articles, elected by my peers to the International Committee on Latin Paleography, my expertise speaks for itself.
