John Campbell still seems at work at what he was doing. He's given
papers but it's listed on his CV as
Article: Preparation of John of Garland's Commentarius: the
transcription and collation of the unpublished text for submission for
publication.
Monograph: Preparation of a school text: a critical edition and
bilingual text with commentary of John of Garland's Dictionarius.
Simenel can be looked up easily now in the Middle English Dictionary too
*simenel* (n.) Also *siminel*, *simnel(le*, *simnele*, *simnille*,
*cimnel* & (?errors) *sennel*, *sonnel*, *sawnel*.

Hope this helps and keeps my reputation intact. What would you all do
without me?
