Eriugena?
edit"It was also during his time in office that he wrote the bulk of his works, which he later became most noted for and as such, awarded him a place among the top fifty greatest thinkers of the medieval era (as detailed in John Scottus Eriugena's book, "Great Medieval Thinkers")."
How could that be true? Eriugena lived a couple of hundred years earlier and obviously would not have written a book with that title. Adam Bishop (talk) 06:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't read the article when I "wikified" it after recent expansion, but a reference like that does not inspire confidence that the editor has a good understanding of the sources. But I just removed the reference to Eriugena and Great Medieval Thinkers, since it cannot be true. Has Eriugena's work been published as part of a series called "Great Medieval Thinkers"? That would explain the confusion: many editors are not careful to cite editors for editorial comments and instead cite the primary authors, sometimes leading to ridiculous statements like the one here.

- Aha, that's exactly right. It's a series from Oxford University Press. The Eriugena volume was edited by Deirdre Carabine. I never thought of that. Adam Bishop (talk) 06:16, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Veneration
editIn the information box on the upper right-hand side it states that Ivo is venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church. But as a rule of thumb people who died after the Great Schism (1054) are not included even in newer Orthodox lists of saints that include western saints. I will remove the reference for now, but if anyone has evidence that I am wrong, feel free to re-add it. Horatio325 (talk) 09:20, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
