Talk:Catherine Cornaro

Untitled
I've added a note on Pietro Bembo's Gli Asolani, because I think this is too important for it not to get a mention. Also, I have described her as the "Daugher of the Venetian Republic", although I don't know the exact form of words (ie it might actually be "Daugher of the Republic of Venice") or when this happened. Also tidied it up with a few section headings. --SoniaUK 12:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Why is she called CATHERINE Cornaro? The name that should be used is the person's actual name unless there are good reasons to do otherwise. The fact that the article is in English isn't a good reason to change her name. PRC 07 (talk) 12:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * You mean it should be Catarina Cornaro? That is kind of odd. I think that's just how the article was created and no one ever bothered to change it. Adam Bishop (talk) 02:58, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

But see below.

Caterina Cornaro please
Yes, I do mean she should be called by her full and original and correct name. I don't know how to modify text in that introductory section because it doesn't have an 'edit' point. If someone could do it that would be appreciated. PRC 07 (talk) 10:37, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

She's called Catherine in English just as the Italians say Maria Stuarda for Mary Stuart, Copernico for Mikołaj Kopernik, Cartesio for Descartes, Gesù Cristo for Yeshua bin Yusef (or something of the sort, I'm not sure about that one), and many others. Names, especially those of historical figures, change in different languages. Two seconds' thought on the subject and I feel sure you would have realised this for yourself.METRANGOLO1 (talk) 12:41, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Jerusalem & Armenia
Why did Venice need to destroy the titles of Jerusalem and Armenia, if they didn't own them anyways? --YOMAL SIDOROFF-BIARMSKII (talk) 22:55, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
