[edit] incorrect part

In which part is he incorrect, the world as a wheel or about Noah descendants? Roscoe x 19:16, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Zainer

In connection with my transcription of Isidore on my site, this morning I got an e-mail from Bernard Rosenthal, (Bernard M. Rosenthal, Inc., bookseller in Berkeley, CA), a man who has spent the best part of a very long life in the field of incunabula and manuscripts (see this testimonial), alerting me to the typo on my site. On investigation I find that, as often, there hadn't been a bone of originality in me, but that I'd merely picked it up from the page at the Library of Congress that is the source of the illustration both on my site then later on Wikipedia. Google confirms Dr. Rosenthal, reporting the correct spelling at many other independent sites — even if outweighed numerically by the typo on Wikipedia and all its mirrors. It is not the first time the LC website has had a typo; usually I manage to correct them on my own; it is not the first time that an error on Wikipedia has propagated so much as to befoul searches on Google.
