• cur | prev April 2019 T. Vogel (talk | contribs) . . (1,310 bytes) (+340) . . (→ In this encyclopedia: a sound principle with a badly kept provenance and a wildly overstated range. the range is the part that matters and the provenance is the part that is funny)
• cur | prev 1946 a lexicographer (talk | contribs) . . (970 bytes) (+60) m . . (→ the dictionaries give the Latin without the provenance, which is how the provenance came to be lost)
• cur | prev 1905 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (910 bytes) (+110) . . (→ Application: two accounts of the same numbers, one carrying an undetectable medium. this is the case the razor was made for and very nearly the only one it fits)
• cur | prev 1852 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (800 bytes) (+90) . . (→ note: the phrase is now general in English and the attribution is now unexamined. both facts appear to have arrived together)
• cur | prev 1649 L. Froidmont (talk | contribs) . . (710 bytes) (+130) . . (→ Naming: novacula Occami, the razor of Occam. I was writing about Gregory of Rimini at the time, who thought poorly of Occam, and the name has attached itself where it fell)
• cur | prev 1639 J. Punch (talk | contribs) . . (580 bytes) (+160) . . (→ entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem. I set this down while commenting upon Duns Scotus and it is the tidiest form of it I can manage)
• cur | prev c. 1320 W. Ockham (talk | contribs) . . (420 bytes) (+420) . . (created; plurality must never be posited without necessity. I have not invented this and I do not claim it. I use it a great deal, which is a different thing)
