Talk:Thomas de Pinedo

Sources for future article expansion
a) The first version of this page was translated from the French Wiki's article. They have several sources listed at the bottom (although few inline cites) that might be used to source and/or expand the article. b) Above all, it's unclear from the French article that Gaspar Ibáñez de Segovia is specifically the "Marquis of Mondejar" De Pinedo dedicated his work to; he lived long enough to be relevant at the time, although this list of the holders of the title suggests that he would've technically forfeited the title earlier upon the earlier death of his wife.

c) It's unclear why he's called de Pinedo if his actual surname was Pinheiro, as claimed by Wikidata. Translation into Spanish or Latin?

d) Similarly, if he never converted, it's unclear what the "religious name" Isaac is talking about. Jews don't change their name upon becoming monks or clerics. — Llywelyn II   05:46, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

For (b), found some sources that say it was Gaspar; for (c), seems to have been translation into Latin and personal choice; for (d), seems to have been adopted upon openly joining the Jewish community in the Netherlands per the NNBW entry although he still used "Thomas" for his major work for whatever reason. e) The NNWD notes that he was also related to a "Pedro Teixiera", although it's unclear which one is meant: the explorer, the cartographer, or someone else. — Llywelyn II   18:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
