The 11th century mention in La Vita Nuova of the name Vanna is the first in recorded history.

Changed this, since it looks to have been a mistake by the original author; Dante wasn't even alive yet in the 11th century. Presumable 13th century was meant and the author became confused or made a typo.


[edit] Star Trek

Is it really necessary or appropriate to have a synopsis of an episode of Star Trek? Surely the reading of the VN in that episode is worthy of one line at most, otherwise we have to reference every show/movie that has some reference to the text...and Dante's own page would be full of every single mention of his name in modern culture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.92.40.49 (talk) 13:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

You are perfectly right. I have pruned it. Goochelaar (talk) 16:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
