[edit] Reference

I don't think this sentence is referenced, so I will delete it.

(Possibly, his remarkable insight in geology made him realise that the formation of the Earth's strata could not be brought into agreement with the creation stories in Genesis - stories which nobody at the time dared to question.)

[edit] Burial and exhumation

I've restored portions, since bodies of saints are of import. Novangelis (talk) 06:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neighbor

While he may have live across the street from Peder Griffenfeld(Peder Schumacher), does this have bearing on his life? If the two didn't interact, this may only be trivia. Novangelis (talk) 17:26, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possible link to Niels Stensen items on “Himetop – The History of medicine topographical database”

I suggest that somebody, interested in this page, could insert an external link to the following page describing, with pictures, some Steno’s memories in Florence: http://himetop.wikidot.com/niels-stensen

I don’t do it myself because I’m also an Administrator of this site (Himetop) and it could be a violation of the Wikipedia Conflict of Interest policy. Thanks for your attention.
