Anna Anthro#France: professor accused of ‘gigantic hoax’ after inventing Nobel-style prize
“ There was no Intl Society of #Philology.
The US university to which it was affiliated existed only online, its address was traced to a jewellery store in Delaware.
The award – likened to a Nobel – was invented by Montaclair, & he had bought the medal from a jeweller in Paris for €250 to present to himself.”
