[edit] John of Gorze

The person referred to in previous versions of the article as "Abbot Johannes of Göritz" was in fact at a slightly later date abbot of Gorze in present-day Lorraine, and is usually referred to in historical works in English as John of Gorze (no article at present, but I'm about to put up a request for one: the entire history of this embassy needs fuller treatment on Wikipedia, and John of Gorze was apparently also an important monastic reformer).

María Rosa Menocal's "The Ornament of the World" (ISBN 0-316-56688-8) says that the Disocoridian work that Hasdai helped translate was "On Medicine". Charles Papadelis 07:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
