Authenticity check: A search reveals that the phrase "regarded by many" appears in the text. Is the phrase a symptom of a dubious statement? Could a source be quoted instead? Perhaps the "many" could be identified? Might text be edited to more genuinely reflect specific facts?

Random Question[edit]

Is this figure the source for Umberto Eco's hero of Foucault's Pendulum? Does anyone know? Thanks! Mashford 03:26, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another Question[edit]

The article in Nature News (http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110617/full/474436a.html?WT.ec_id=NEWS-20110621) refers to Casaubon having disproved the supposed Egyptian origin of some text by finding a reference in the text to a Greek play in words. I would guess that this refers to his work towards the end of his life, but if this isn't a trivial point (I have no way of evaluating that), it would be nice to refer to it in this article.
