Le Livre de Seyntz Medicines

Created by Serial Number 54129 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:54, 21 January 2022 (UTC).

  • Great stuff, probably GA-standard already! Will come back to this once the QPQ is done. Kingoflettuce (talk) 21:32, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
And you'd probably want to link the article somewhere in the hook :) Kingoflettuce (talk) 21:32, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Heh. Thanks for this Kingoflettuce; QPQ done and article actually linked this time... it was a choice, really, of linking either just "compared", or to everything that follows. I went with the latter, for dramatic effect. SN54129 23:21, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Excellent! Intriguing article that's both new and long enough. QPQ has been done and no evidence of copyvio. Artfully written and both the hook and the rest of the article are thoroughly referenced. I'll accept the sources (none of which I have access to) in good faith! Finally, I think it would be worth directly mentioning the hook fact in the body, rather than just in a quotebox, if possible. Otherwise, this looks like good to go! Kingoflettuce (talk) 04:19, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
The parting comment also applies to other things mentioned in the lede, e.g. the duke's begging for "the assistance of the necessary doctor, Jesus Christ". This could be fleshed out more either in the 1st section or in the 6th (as "Analysis")---I haven't read the Livre myself, so I'm not sure if he makes an explicit reference to Christ or not.

@Kingoflettuce: Check. I'll do a bit now. If you email me, I'll attach the source by return, for your perusal. Cheers again! SN54129 15:22, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Last suggestion, a translation of the title (book on holy medicine?) might be neat too. You're welcome! Kingoflettuce (talk) 00:17, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
