the Zanj Empire edit

Latest comment: 9 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The reference to a book on the Zanj empire co-edited by Roland Oliver is given erroneously to Matthew Gervase, instead of to Gervase Matthew. Gervase Matthew was a renowned Dominican orientalist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.135.158.26 (talk) 09:17, 12 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Actually, the man was called Anthony Gervase Mathew (1905–1976; not to be confused with Gervase Frederick Mathew; Anthony was his civil name and Gervase his monastic name), though he was known as Gervase Mathew simply. Compare this for the citation. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:57, 6 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

As an aside, Mathew was among the friends of J. R. R. Tolkien, see here for more information about Mathew.

Done The names should now all be fixed. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 18:06, 6 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
