Talk:Luigi Cornaro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Initial seed text
I folded in much of the 1911 Britannica article. It is the Britannica, apparently, that both gives his dates as 1457-1566 and states that he died at 98; the simplest way out for now was to question his birthdate.
- The 1911 Britannica article does not give both dates, only the later one. Changed article to reflect this. Mike Linksvayer (talk) 04:01, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
The link previously found here was not to anything much about Cornaro, much less to the text of his writings; but to a commentary on his ideas on a commercial site: since it doesn't add much for anyone reading this article for information about Cornaro, it seemed best to remove it.

- Sounds good to me and thank you for helping me on this one. Should the fact that medical/diet health sites are touting Cornaro's works to sell their own products be mentioned in this article? --Polylerus 18:28, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

- Sounds fine to me; in the lingo of literature and the arts, that's known as "reception", after all.... A favourable spin might even be put on such an addition: Cornaro may be viewed as the ancestor of these modern movements, etc. (At which point that link might come creeping back legitimately! as an illustration of that.)
