Permission
Do you have evidence of this claim "The original author of this work is Professor Raymond J S Grant, formerly of the University of Alberta Department of English and Film Studies, and graduate of the Universities of Aberdeen and Cambridge (Peterhouse, 1970/1, under the supervision of Dorothy Whitelock). The work appears here with permission of his estate."? If the work has been released, where is the documentation of that release and proof that it is licensed properly? Bear in mind without such evidence, the book could be deleted. Thanks MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 21:30, 21 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I understand, and happy to do so. Please say what form in which you would like this permission, and I'll happily arrange for it.  Perhaps an email from the deceased's wife, who asked me to undertake this?  SocialKnowledge (discuss • contribs) 00:47, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * If you could arrange for the owner of the copyright to email info@wikibooks.org stating that they irrevocably agree to release the work under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL (naming the work in question), clearly stating they are the owner of the copyright, then that would be great. Emailing from an email address that can plausibly be linked to the owner is also required (e.g., it needs to come from an email in the name of his wife). Thanks.

 * Thanks, I've just written to the deceased's wife, asking for this email to be sent. SocialKnowledge (discuss • contribs) 15:57, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Just confirming that Pauline Grant sent permission / release via email, as requested, at 10.37 PST today, 22 February 2022. SocialKnowledge (discuss • contribs) 19:09, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
