Dates[edit]

LC authority file has his dates as ca. 1116-ca. 1142; the source for this is a database search in the Canadian national library in 1984. Wikipedia has ca. 1080 to ca. 1152; any way to find more precise dates? I suppose Burnett's book would give more recent stab at the dates since it was pub. in 1999; if I have a chance I will order the book--FeanorStar7 10:23, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cochrane's book has c. 1080 as is his birthdate; does not give a death date. --FeanorStar7 21:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adelard of Bath article[edit]

The picture of the 13th century book about Adelard of Bath shows a Woman (note boobs and head scarf) on the right side of picture with a T square and holding onto symbols on table. And all the other guys on the left and center are looking at her with what seems like amazement. And the name Adel ard sounds like a womans name to me. But the article is about a Male Adelard, with he this and he that. Is their any real text that says Adelard was a Man? Or is it just assumed because he /she did so many amazing things in their life. What is the Picture of THE WOMAN on this book cover suppose to mean, if Adelard is suppose to be a Man. And is he suppose to be the Man in the Center of the picture, who also seems to be amazed at the woman on the right side. What is the point of having a woman on the cover picture if it is not pointing out that Adelard was a Woman, not a Man. Can any one give me an explaination fir why there us a Woman on this book cover holding a T square, which one would use then to do Astrological Charts? Sincerely, dpgrinn@gmail.com. A Woman Astrologer who has traveled extensively in my life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dgrinn (talk • contribs) 22:25, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Travels[edit]

His travels are actually contested amongst scholars, as is much of his biographical information. I'm attempting to move this article up to at least B-class but should take time. There are stories of him traveling as a spy to obtain copies of Euclid which he later translated. Will attempt to add this, and get him his own infobox.

Dates still not fixed[edit]

Are there any primary sources about Adelard’s proper birth and death dates? Pages like Peter Abelard, who lived and died around the same time, gives dates which are more precise and don’t range an entire decade. Maybe we could do what the Fibonacci page does and indicate a circa before a single year (ex: c. 1080, c. 1160)?

It has been more than 16 years since FeanorStar7's initial request in 2007 and this issue still hasn't been addressed. GrandConjurer (talk) 14:46, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
