"In the astrology text, latitudes are reckoned from Cremona and Toledo."

User:Bill Thayer has rightly noticed something wrong here and suggested in the html text "sounds most unlikely: shouldn't this be 'longitudes'"? Since the subject is astrology, my ignorant hunch is, shouldn't this be "angles of declension" or something similar? --Wetman 00:21, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I think that also the following sentence should be rephrased: "Toledo, which had been a provincial capital in the Caliphate of Cordoba and remained a seat of learning, was safely available to a Catholic like Gerard, since it had been conquered from the Moors by Alfonso VI of Castile" Because as it is well known, Christians were already safe during the time of the Cordoba Caliphate. The above phrasing can be understood as if the coming of the Christian kings finally allowed Christian to be and to work in Cordoba, which as far as I know is not accurate. --lnavezz 12.09.2008 —Preceding undated comment was added at 23:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]
