Talk:Constantine of Kostenets

Article move suggestion

Good job, Duja! What do you think about moving the article to Constantine of Kostenets, "Konstantin of Kostenets" sounds somehow semi-English, semi-native to me, I either make the whole thing in English or leave it entirely native (Konstantin Kostenechki). Following the example of Constantine of Preslav, John of Rila or Clement of Ohrid, I'd choose English :) Todor→Bozhinov 11:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree; however, some English literature (notably, ref [1]) spells him with "K", and some other with "C", and some other as... you noticed the ton of redirects I created :-). It was fairly difficult to locate sources about his own life (most GHits use his works as a reference to Despot's life or other historic events). But if anything, "Constantine" does look better.

P.S. How does Anja Jeftić assume he's of Aromanian origin? "Greco-Bulgaro-Serb" doesn't include anything Aromanian, but it does include Greek, and this is only a marginal note which may well not discuss ethnic origin. It may be about cultural values, for example. Best, Todor→Bozhinov 11:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

On retrospect, it seems like a wildish speculation of her own. "Greco-Bulgaro-Serb" is indeed a fairly accurate description of his cultural values and background, but how it can be construed as Aromanian is beyond me. Duja► 08:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Btw, the name "Konstantin Kostenechki" comes by and large from Bulgarian literature, while Serbs overwhelmingly refer to him as "Konstantin Filozof". I guess including that info would be a bit of OR on my part, but I left that implied by selection of source languages. Duja► 08:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
