Talk:Ivo of Chartres

Eriugena?
"It was also during his time in office that he wrote the bulk of his works, which he later became most noted for and as such, awarded him a place among the top fifty greatest thinkers of the medieval era (as detailed in John Scottus Eriugena's book, "Great Medieval Thinkers")."

How could that be true? Eriugena lived a couple of hundred years earlier and obviously would not have written a book with that title. Adam Bishop (talk) 06:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't read the article when I "wikified" it after recent expansion, but a reference like that does not inspire confidence that the editor has a good understanding of the sources. But I just removed the reference to Eriugena and Great Medieval Thinkers, since it cannot be true. Has Eriugena's work been published as part of a series called "Great Medieval Thinkers"? That would explain the confusion: many editors are not careful to cite editors for editorial comments and instead cite the primary authors, sometimes leading to ridiculous statements like the one here.

 * Aha, that's exactly right. It's a series from Oxford University Press. The Eriugena volume was edited by Deirdre Carabine. I never thought of that. Adam Bishop (talk) 06:16, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Veneration
In the information box on the upper right-hand side it states that Ivo is venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church. But as a rule of thumb people who died after the Great Schism (1054) are not included even in newer Orthodox lists of saints that include western saints. I will remove the reference for now, but if anyone has evidence that I am wrong, feel free to re-add it. Horatio325 (talk) 09:20, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
