Hauglid and Jensen). Dr. Gee said that this volume "seems to be not of the same quality" of the other published volumes and noted that "there are some disappointing problems" with it. He is apparently working on a review for publication (he didn't name the outlet; I assume it's Interpreter). Will it be a takedown, a flawless victory, or something else?

Tom wrote:That's a good question. Perhaps Professor Gee will address that issue in his review. A related question: was Professor Muhlestein involved?
I figured it may be worth exploring those questions on a separate thread.
Were Gee and Muhlestein excluded from the JSP project "Book of Abraham and Related Manuscripts" (ed. Hauglid and Jensen). And if they were, what might we conclude?
