[edit] Telescope

Shouldn't there be a section dealing with the theory that Grosseteste invented an early form of telescope?--Eroica 10:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] place of birth

Just wondering, but why is Stradbroke listed as Grosseteste's place of birth? I've often seen it listed as Stowe. I was under the impression that no one actually knew what it was.

[edit] Layout of article

Isn't it normal for biographies of people to start with their actual biography and then discuss their works and importance? This article starts with his works and then goes into his biography in the next section; should this be flipped to align with Wikipedia guidelines for biographies (e.g. see William Shakespeare)?--FeanorStar7 10:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
