This article appears to be identical in its subject with the article on Pseudo-Isidorian forgeries and the article on False Decretals while only the sources appear to be different. Why not merge all three articles into one? -tlatosmd, June 21st 2005, 9:20pm CET

Sounds good to me, but I'm generally a lumper. Shall we hold the discussion at Talk:Pseudo-Isidorian forgeries? --Wetman 20:49, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Okay. -tlatosmd, June 22nd 2005, 2:05am

Pseudo-Isidore is a well established name in the textual apparatus of learned theological works. Things like Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals or Pseudo-Isidorian forgeries are simply adjectives built on it. I think the whole thing should be merged to Pseudo-Isidore, with cleanups and good merges. --FourthAve 10:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

I'll copy the above post to Talk:Pseudo-Isidorian forgeries, where a desultory discussion lags somewhat. --Wetman 21:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Start of merge

There are three articles:

• Pseudo-Isidore which is based on German wiki
• False Decretals partly based on EB 1911
• Pseudo-Isidorian forgeries, also EB 1911 based.
• There is also the Catholic Encyclopedia article, which is useful by quite long.
• [1] This site is also useful.

The merge itself will be a little difficult in that all three articles are longish There is still the matter of deciding what to title the final merged article, but repeat my decided preference for Pseudo-Isidore. --FourthAve 12:35, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Done. The other two articles are available via their history if you click on the little 'redirected from' bit when you land here. --FourthAve 19:43, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I've now added material formerly at Pseudo-Isidorian forgeries to serve as an introduction. The material formerly at False Decretals is here, with a lot of information that was left behind. Editing it into this article will complete the move. --Wetman 07:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
