Talk:Thomas Muffet

Untitled

I've lost track of my list of who to email, so I'm commenting here. I like what you've done so far. I can see that the previous page was mostly inaccurate and full of hearsay. You've done a great job expanding on a figure of the scientific revolution who is pretty obscure.

I'm not crazy about the timeline, although I can see why you used it. I'm more interested in his work on science than on where he went to college, so if there was some way to streamline it so that it was more about his work, that might be nice. Overall, this is a great job. -SB —Preceding unsigned comment added by HardingBenson (talk • contribs) 16:56, 4 October 2006

Little Miss Muffet

According to this [1], Little Miss Muffet, the nursery rhyme, was based on Thomas Muffet. If this is true, it surely should be included in the article, for expanding the mind purposes if nothing else. Dyinghappy (talk) 04:32, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree, although I am unconvinced about the connection, it should be noted.--Sabrebd (talk) 09:40, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

1634 publication

The sentence "There is the possibility that the same work appears under the name of Théodore Turquet de Mayerne (born Geneva, Switzerland, 1573 – died Chelsea, England, 1655), published in the same year, 1634" gives a confusing impression. There is only one book, with five names on the title page, including Muffet who put the work together and Mayerne who got it published. Mayerne's birth and death aren't really relevant here: that's for the article about Mayerne. So I've rewritten this part. Andrew Dalby 19:26, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Lede

The first sentence says "he is best known for" and then lists six different things, which sort of defeats the purpose of 'best known'. Can someone with knowledge of the subject improve the opening sentences to clarify what he is actually notable for? Ashmoo (talk) 07:23, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
