[edit] Regnus Agnus Mundi

Possibly ficticious religious order from the book The_Pilgrimage. Pseudo-Latin name would mean "King, the lamb of the world". Google hits seem to return to the book or the author or to a branch of Free Masonry. Looks like something the author made up. Please see the article talk page for more details. Not sure what to do with this. Probably delete. Not enough to merge back to the book. Doubt verifiability, only reference seems to be in the book. Cheers. :) Dlohcierekim 15:46, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete or merge - possible WP:HOAX, and others as stated. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 17:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Also, "regnus" doesn't mean "king", it's just not a word at all. Adam Bishop 19:07, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Question. Is it a name, after all? The talk page conversation indicated it should be "king". Cheers :) Dlohcierekim 20:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. "Regnus" does not mean "king", that would be "rex". The only way to make "regnus agnus mundi" grammatical is to read "Regnus" as a proper name, i.e. as the name of a person, country, or the like. Nevertheless, no reputable source I am aware of (e.g. Encyclopaedia Britannica) knows either this "R.A.M." or a person called "Regnus". There is the word "regnuM" (with M) meaning "kingdom", but Coelho consistently writes "regnuS". Furthermore, even "Kingdom, the lamb of the world" would not make too much sense, would it? And yes, I do think that this is a case of WP:HOAX. --GottschallCh 00:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete — Apparently fictitious; no sources outside Coelho. JChap2007 22:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I have found this [1] and this [2] from Coelho's page. Anyone who can read spanish or Portugues or whatever it is? Pictureuploader 06:39, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
