[edit] Style and minor NPOV edits
I did not do anything to the substance of this article. I broke up some of the paragraphs and took out some POV language mostly unnessary adverbs. Ratherhaveaheart 01:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Duplicate articles
Peter Alfonsi and Petrus Alphonsi... AnonMoos 16:24, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Random notes toward a merge and rewrite
The "Inter Petrum Christianum et Moysem Hæreticum" and the "series of twelve dialogues against the Jews, the supposed disputants being Mose and Pedro" seem to be duplicate references to the same work, which nowadays seems to be most often referred to under the title "Dialogi Contra Iudaeos". It may have seemed laughable to 19th-century scholars, but the book "Petrus Alfonsi and his Medieval Readers" by John Victor Tolan (1993, ISBN 0813012384) shows how this work conveyed Jewish and Arabic knowledge to Northern European readers, who had little access to other information on those subjects at that time...

[edit] Death date
This article has a different death date than article Peter Alfonsi, while the book "Petrus Alfonsi and his Medieval Readers" by John Victor Tolan (1993) says that there's no definite information at all on his death (though it does say that he travelled to England and Northern France, which would seem to be somewhat incompatible with a death-date of 1110).
