Misspelling[edit]

The list of ways in which the title was misspelled seems to lead off with the correct spelling.PurpleChez (talk) 16:40, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's not well phrased. The reference actually says:

"Even the title of the book was uncertain. Marchesinus names it Mammotrectus or Mammetractus, which he explains as 'led by a pedagogue'; but a current form of the name was Mammothreptus, which was interpreted as 'brought up by one's grandmother'."

I have brought the article into line with this.John M Brear (talk) 12:32, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism[edit]

The article goes out of its way to state several times that the book was criticised, but never makes clear what the core points of criticism of the various critics actually were. At present the article reads as if we should be impressed by the names mentioned and just take on faith that this book is no good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.86.20.136 (talk) 11:14, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
