Talk:Geoffrey Chaucer

message: "Even the earliest surviving manuscripts are not Chaucer's originals": Do we even know if there were any "originals"? Chaucer was an oral performer and may have never written them down. His recitals may have differed from one to another, explaining why the written versions differ so much. Additionally, many or all (save apparent copies) may have been written by an audience member from memory rather than a scribe as it was being spoken. This could also explain the "fragments" as he likely did not tell all the tales at a single performance. Are there "original" manuscripts for his other works? Obviously I am not an expert ;-) but I hope this entry is helpful and if appropriate an expert could amend the text to be more clear. Ealtram (talk) 11:40, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Why is the Chaucer article categorized as "Low-importance Literature"? Not even "Mid-importance"? Who is of higher importance in Middle English poetry than Chaucer? It's also a "Mid-importance Astrology" article, so, I guess he was a more important astrologer than he was a literary figure. How are these "High-importance", "Low-importance" categories determined?

Talk:Giordano Bruno

message: The Vatican was very guarded in c. 1600 about controlling the "Gates of Heaven" - the afterlife. They still are. Bruno taught reincarnation and this is probably the #1 reason why the Inquisition burned him at the stake. 2601:589:4800:9090:4043:CCE9:64FF:C66F (talk) 16:58, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bruno Was Burned-At-The Stake Because Of Teaching Reincarnation 

message: Looks like an editor may have engaged in deceptive editing to shoehorn this into the article (although the situation may have come about from other editors changing the sourcing). It was supported solely by a supposed quotation from Singer, paired with a footnote explaining that even she found the evidence unconvincing. However, the book it was cited to is searchable on IA, and the quotation itself was not in the book at all! A search of Google books finds only one 1800s source which suggests this and at least one that suggests that it was untrue. Additional web sources making this claim did not really appear to be reliable. While it is also in Encyclopedia Brittanica, that's a tertiary source and since it does appear to be either an outdated or minority view, this will need better sourcing and the inclusion of opposing views to get a better idea of what current scholarship really thinks about this. Meanwhile I've removed the strong unqualified claim from the lead and the unverifiable quotation from the body, which was the only support for this position in the article.

Talk:Huns

message: It seems to me that a section on what (we think) we know about Hunnic burial practices is in order. My question: does it belong in society and culture or material culture? It's clearly not actually an aspect of material culture, as it's a practice, but what we know about it is both how we derive our knowledge of Hunnic material culture and known through material culture. Thoughts?--Ermenrich (talk) 15:13, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, I know this: The very typical feature of the Asian Hun and European Hun cemeteries is the partial horse burials, almost in all Hun graves there are only remain of horses.

thread_title:  Rival theories 

message: Please see here []. IP 157.14.207.111.
I cleaned up a bit removing claims that Tusi and his pupil discovered elliptical orbit(!), or that Avempace anticipated Newtons third law of motion. I can't access "Gracia, Jorge J. E. (2007-11-26), "Philosophy in the Middle Ages: An Introduction", A Companion to Philosophy in the Middle Ages", which is used to claim that " Ibn Bajjah was a critic of Ptolemy and he worked on creating a new theory of velocity to replace the one theorized by Aristotle. Two future philosophers supported the theories Avempace created, known as Avempacean dynamics. These philosophers were Thomas Aquinas, a Catholic priest, and John Duns Scotus.[22] Galileo went on to adopt Avempace's formula "that the velocity of a given object is the difference of the motive power of that object and the resistance of the medium of motion". If somobody can varify it that would be great.

replies: text:  Yeah, Thanks. It seems claims on Alhacen and Al-biruni mostly relies on non-academic authors like Jim Al-Khalili or Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa(an educator), or pretty fringe view within historiography of science, like Rozhanskaya and Levinova. I've read a lot of history science books, but never seem anybody outside of them said that Al-biruni intoduced "scientific method" in to mechanics, let alone creating "medieval hydrodynamics"(whatever this means). I am going to add Mark Smith opinion on Alhacen, where he criticized tendency of some popular author to exaggerate modernity of Alhacen experimentation. Not sure what to do with Al-biruni.
