His defense of Joseph's Myth has robbed him of a life of intellectual achievement. But he gets to high five his fellow cultists while "owning" the evil gentile World...which strangely enough remains oblivious to him and his band of hobbyists.

That's what happens when you just exchange synonyms to disguise your plagiarism. From Tom's documentation of DP's plagiarism:Doctor CamNC4Me wrote:
I'm only quoting myself for context. When called out by user lcmccabe on another Arabian Nights blog post:Really? I need more information here to support your premise as I do not see any parallels with the storyline of Giacondo and Astolfo in Orlando furioso with that of the Arabian Nights. Both Giacondo and Astolfo were cuckholded and so they set about getting revenge by seducing as many men's wives as possible. It didn't matter their age or beauty, the greater the reputation for virtue the more they showered their attention.
I have actually spent the last thirteen years adapting both Orlando furioso and Orlando innamorato into novels for modern day audiences, so I am well familiar with this canto you referenced. I have also read the Arabian Nights as part of my research material as Caliph Harun al-Rashid, a contemporary of Charlemagne, features in those tales.
Currently unconvinced. (And, in case you are interested, I came upon this blog post from my Google alert set for Orlando furioso.)
It becomes immediately apparent what Mr. Peter$on is up to. He pulls his usual trick by insinuating he has to get back to his study or some other repository stocked with the knowledge of a thousand scholars where he says:Well, I'm in the Canadian Rockies on vacation right now, hundreds of miles from home and with no library resources. So I won't be able to do any checking for quite a while.
... thus deflecting what everyone knows, that he routinely googles some topic, finds a webpage or a wiki article to plagiarize, and then post he's working on some 'manuscript' when in reality he just craps out some re-wording of someone else's work.
Classic Peter$on.

ALF LAYLA wa-LAYLA: "... Traces of it are to be found in a novel by Giovanni Sercambi (1347-1424) and in the story of Astolfo and Giocondo which is told in the 28th canto of Orlando Furioso by Ariosto (beginning of the 16th century)..."
SeN: "... Traces of it linger, for example, in a novel by Giovanni Sercambi (1347-1424). Sometime thereafter, at the beginning of the sixteenth century, clear allusions to the story appear in the tale of Astolfo and Giocondo, which is featured in the 28th canto of Ariosto’s Orlando Furious..."
