Disputatio:Vincentius Monti

Vincenzo Monti

The name actually is Vincenzo Monti, and not Vincentius Monti, otherwise in the en.wiki the article should be named a ridiculous "Vince Mountains", and so on...

I'm not familiar with the la.wiki name guidelines, but please discuss and rename, if agreed.

Best regards, Accurimbono

Thanks for your interest. This isn't special to Vicipaedia: it's been normal in Latin writing, ever since medieval times, to adopt the Latin form of forenames that happen to have a Latin form. Different languages handle these things in different ways; this happens to be what Latin does.

Our guideline can be read in English at Vicipaedia:De nominibus propriis/en, but this particular case needn't depend on our guideline. As with many other 19th century people, Vincenzo Monti's name had a Latin form as well as an Italian one. The Latin form can be seen, for example, in this document of 1819. Having found it, I'll cite it in a footnote. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 11:13, 6 Octobris 2011 (UTC)
