Talk:Farinata degli Uberti

Over on the Italian page for this article, it indicates that the date of birth is unknown. Why is it given as 1212 here? Citation? 93.92.153.12 (talk) 10:10, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Inquisition
I have capitalized Inquisition (and added a Wikilink to the page on that subject) in the following sentence:

''They were found guilty by the Franciscan-led Inquisition; their remains faced a posthumous execution. According to Boccaccio, in his commentary on Dante, the Inquisition discovered...''

However, the use of the phrase "Franciscan-led Inquisition" seems confusing, and it's also possible that the use of the word "Inquisition" in the latter part of the sentence may reflect some confusion with the word "inquest." We need to clarify whether we are referring to the overall institution of the Inquisition or to the specific trial / inquest in this particular case. If it's the former, perhaps "Franciscan-led" is inappropriate, since the Inquisition wasn't always led by Franciscans.

I also changed "proved guilty" to the more neutral "found guilty." 850 C (talk) 19:34, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
