This guy is so cool I can't believe it. He changed his name to "Lover Of The Universe" and then got elected to govern a province?!?! That rules.

[edit] African-American (mulatto?)

I'd been given to understand in high school that Amor De Cosmos was part African-American, but there's nothing about that in the article. Is it true?--Anchoress 10:15, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

It's the first I've heard of it. If there is any evidence for this, it would be interesting to know what it is. Fishhead64 15:05, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't know but I wonder if you might be thinking of James Douglas? KenWalker | Talk 18:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
No, it was definitely Amor De Cosmos that my teacher told us about, but maybe he got them mixed up?--Anchoress 22:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lover Of The Universe???

Who translated that? "Amor de Cosmos" would roughly translate as "Cosmos' love". Compare it to "amor de madre" ("mother's love" - the one a mother feels for her children). The Spanish word for "lover" is "amante".

I think that it was intended to be latin, not spanish. --JGGardiner 01:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
It's not even correct Latin. But that's how he translated it. Fishhead64 17:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Yep. That's why I said "intended". --JGGardiner 17:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
If it's not even correct Latin (and I don't even think "Cosmos" is a word in Latin), then why is it currently described as "inaccurately translated as 'lover of the universe'"? --Saforrest 10:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
