The English title of Cuneus Prophetarum[edit]

To my best knowledge, Latin cuneus is little more than English wedge. On what grounds then can Cuneus Prophetarum be normally translated into The Band of the Prophets? --gybag 11:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Cuneus" is also a military formation in the shape of a wedge.--Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 20:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bogdani's origins[edit]

He is of either Serbian or Bulgarian origin as his name and surname propose. Bogdani is an albanised version of Bogdanovic/Bogdanov from the personal name Bogdan (meaning God given).

No sources and not even a argument, please provide sources --Vinie007 13:17, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He signs as "Petro Bogdano the Macedonian", but this may only mean that he was born in "Macedonia" which refers to half of the Balkans.--Euzen (talk) 20:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article says he was born on the territory which is now Has District.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:37, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless of the meaning, if he signed himself this way, it still deserves to be translated into English and noted in the text. If you prefer it can be translated into "from Macedonia" instead of "the Macedoninan" with an added comment that it is a geographic rather than ethnic reference.

Petro B. gives a short history of his family in the "Cuneus Prophetarum", (available on line), pager p.179. With my mediocre Italian, I understand that Emperor Stefan Nemagna divided his state to some of his best "capitani". The area from Ferri or Samocovo to mid Scopie was given to BOGDAN. This family was governing that area till was occupied by Murat II. A letter in pages (of the pager) 179-181, from one Zuanne (possibly Hungarian), "Captain of Danube", to the "Despote" mentions an Andrea Bogdani, Archbishop of Ochrida. The letter mentions a legue between Vlatko Mladinovich and his Vlachs, Scanderbeg with his Albanians, someone with "poveri Serviani" and the author with his Hungarians. Doesn't give the date of the letter. A better translation is needed.

he was Macedonian. as it shows on the cover of his book in the museum in Tirana http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs248.ash1/17549_1262327471827_1038927768_30666649_3292048_n.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.205.2.29 (talk) 15:20, 16 March 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.203.200.74 (talk) [reply]
We don't know, what he was. But he wasn't a Macedonian, since that ethnicity didn't exist back then. But what we know is, that he was born in Gur of Has, in the region of Kukës, and not how Elsie claims, in the region of Prizren. The problem with Elsies claim is that he has no evidence for that. Contrary to that, the publication of the Albanian Encyclopedia quotes evidence. Squatrazustradin (talk) 16:56, 21 January 2021 (UTC)Squatrazustradin[reply]
Squatrazustradin, the region of Has is divided between Albania and Kosovo. Kukes and Prizren are also close to each other. Here is English Wikipedia and Robert Elsie is an internationally recognized expert of the Albanian issue. Nobody claims he was Macedonian. Please, do not delete reliable sources in English. Thanks.

Copyvio?[edit]

Almost the whole text of the article is copy of the text written by Robert Elsie here and published here. The author of the text wrote: The texts of all articles and books which can be downloaded here may be copied for private use if the author and source are properly acknowledged. I am not sure that in this case we can talk about "private use"?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 23:27, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
