Talk:Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity

message: I have to ask, was the quickly withdrawn AfD of this article some kind of internal joke? u p p l a n d 06:31, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sort of. Initially I dared Rory to do it, but then Rory ran the Google search and that convinced'im to put it up. Of course, when I pointed out that the search should have been for "Brethren of Purity" and not "Brethren of Sincerity", and when Rory found the EB article, that was the final straw. --maru   (talk)  contribs 16:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

message: :"The 14th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica described the mingling of Neoplatonism and Aristotelianism this way:
::"The materials of the work come chiefly from Aristotle, but they are conceived of in a Platonizing spirit, which places as the bond of all things a universal soul of the world with its partial or fragmentary souls.""
I'm trying to verify this- it's from a fairly kookish web page; I'm reasonably sure its quotes and transcriptions are accurate, but it would be nice to be sure. As a reference, it gives "EB-2:187a (14th Ed., 1930)." Only problem is, the 14th ed. is apparently not from 1930, and I can't find a copy of the 14th to check, anyway. --maru   (talk)  contribs 00:12, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. A kind fellow editor looked it up and found it to be true. --maru   (talk)  contribs 16:33, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I suggest this article be moved to Epistles of the Brethren of Purity. Personally, I haven't heard it being mentioned as Encyclopedia, its always referred to as the the Epistles. Either way, thats the more popular name. Check this compared to this. --Bluerain (talk) 17:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Encyclopedia is a better name, since the Epistle is just the form. That name may well be more popular, but I think Encyclopedia is more correct. --maru   (talk)  contribs 16:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
