This is a rough meld of material from St Peter Damiani. Your help is needed. I have to go to bed now... --Wetman 07:59, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Pietro Damiani"?

How does the current title of the article Pietro Damiani (which is modern Italian) relate to normal English usage? I have never encountered the man's name otherwise than as Peter Damian or Petrus Damiani. Is Pietro Damiani even attested? Iblardi 15:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm moving the page to Peter Damian to have it reflect common usage. Iblardi 20:29, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Couldn't move it to a page with that title since it already redirected here. I decided to make it Petrus Damiani, the Latin form of his name, which makes sense insofar as Latin is the language he and his colleagues wrote in and the Latinized form of his name would be the one he was known by to both contemporaries and later generations, and I would say that the traditional Latin form is probably much better known to the English speaking world than the Italian form.

I copied the article to Peter Damian and then changed this page into a redirect to that one. MishaPan (talk) 23:19, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
