  Using Krattenthaler's operator method, we give a new proof of Warnaar's
recent elliptic extension of Krattenthaler's matrix inversion. Further, using a
theta function identity closely related to Warnaar's inversion, we derive
summation and transformation formulas for elliptic hypergeometric series of
Karlsson-Minton-type. A special case yields a particular summation that was
used by Warnaar to derive quadratic, cubic and quartic transformations for
elliptic hypergeometric series. Starting from another theta function identity,
we derive yet different summation and transformation formulas for elliptic
hypergeometric series of Karlsson-Minton-type. These latter identities seem
quite unusual and appear to be new already in the trigonometric (i.e., p=0)
case.
