Sylvius' fissure[edit]

I've never heard it called Sylvius' fissure, only the Sylvian fissure, like the link that is listed.

Gin[edit]

Did he invent gin, as claimed in the gin article? Badagnani 09:02, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Underwood[edit]

Removed reference, as I could not find the article or the Magazine on internet. The author might have published something about Sylvius, but where is the title of the article? Taksen (talk) 06:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Underwood, Edgar Ashworth ?. Endeavor, May 1972, 31 (113): 73-76.

Date of birth[edit]

Where does 11 May 1614 come from? All sources I have seen give 15 March 1614 as does the Galileo Project referred to in the article. Also, date of death is given as 19 November when other sources give 14 or 15 November - is this an attempt to account for calendar change? Chrysippo (talk) 13:12, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
