How the hell do you cite unpublished manuscripts? I wouldn't know where to start.
Obviously, the only option is to include them as co-authors.

I wonder if we're finally getting the lustrian eggs favour as well.

It's a matter of academic integrity! We must cite prior art.
He is also the most evil person to ever live in setting, including several Everchosen, Malekith, Morathi, and more.
Easy, cite as personal direct communication

We can't just steal his work, Plagiarism is by far a greater sin than a little bit of genocide and corpse desecration!

First you put the quoted original in a accessible library or archive, then you quote it.
Nothing difficult about that.
We have the title, the year it was finished in and the author (or to be exact, co-authors Frederik van Hal and Vashanesh of Khemri).
Of course we can't cite the Book of Nagash it was based on, we can only work from available sources.
As a believer in Ranald, I would say we are morally obligated to steal his work.

I mean he's definitely evil, but more evil than the forces of chaos? Ehh that's stretching it. He was also a peerless genius even if he turned that genius to twisted means. That said obviously we shouldn't cite his work as the foundation of ulgu tongs, even if does end up being that.

Nagash did nothing wrong.

Nagash did a fuck load wrong, like recognising his abilities and prowess is one thing but he was definitely an evil megalomaniac. Looking for immortality wasn't evil but the things he did in pursuit of it absolutely were.
He is more evil than any mortal servants of Chaos.

Yes of course.
Though the chances that of all the Books of Nagash exaclty the one Fred worked with falls in our hands is rather low.
We could go and hunt von Carsteins, or search the deepest ruins of Drakenhof, those are the most likely destinations where a book from Vlad's hands could end up I guess.

Yea, that's hard nope on that statement, but splitting hairs on defining evil in warhammer is kind of pointless. So meh.

Indeed. We should cite Liber Mortis. Liber Mortis itself should cite Nagash, but if it dies not it's not our fault, it's Van Hals.
Direct citations from Nagash would, of couse, be better, but we lack access to his books. The library exchange in warhammer sucks.
Frankly, with a material resource rating of "Yes" and actually being pretty damn bright, Nagash could have pioneered pretty much any sort of magic is theoretically possible with great success, more than likely obtaining immortality and transhuman ascension along the way.
But he just wanted to turn people into dinosaurs... Excuse me, raise an army of undead. I guess he thought that Liches are cool, or something.

Remember, Chaos has corruptive effects. So once you get the first hit you start to lose agency. Meanwhile, Nagash freely chose to destroy and ruin everything he touched for his own selfish purposes. No god pushing him onwards.
He wanted to enslave everything in the world. If not for the Skaven, he may have actually pulled it off, too.
I have to wonder. If the war of the beard never happened but Nagash pulled off his ritual just fine, would the Elves and Dwarves have been able to defeat him?

AKA groundless pessimism. Death is for quitters.
So the Nuln attack botched but we still got rep.
Seems the wilfully ignorant fools in the Empire screwed up while the accidentally ignorant nobles in Bretonnia successfully kicked arse.
