• cur | prev 2026 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (3,580 bytes) (+140) m . . (→ moved the medieval material out of Flat Earth, which is a modern doctrine and is owed no ancestry here. also dated the engraving at the top: 1888, which is sixty years younger than the myth it is put there to illustrate)
• cur | prev 2011 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (3,440 bytes) (+210) . . (→ added what Salamanca actually said, which is that Asia was further off than he allowed. they were right and he was wrong and a continent got him out of it)
• cur | prev 1991 J. B. Russell (talk | contribs) . . (3,230 bytes) (+620) . . (→ counted them. at least two and at most five, against tens of thousands the other way. Letronne and Irving were melded and in the schools by the 1860s, and the reason it took is the argument about evolution)
• cur | prev 1990 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,610 bytes) (+110) m . . (→ captioned the engraving as a mediaeval woodcut, which every other book does. leaving it, since every other book does)
• cur | prev 1897 a translator (talk | contribs) . . (2,500 bytes) (+80) m . . (→ Cosmas is now in English, one year later, and may be consulted by those citing him)
• cur | prev 1896 A. D. White (talk | contribs) . . (2,420 bytes) (+340) . . (→ the same, at greater length and with more footnotes. Cosmas is the specimen)
• cur | prev 1888 an engraver (talk | contribs) . . (2,080 bytes) (+170) . . (→ cut the plate of the pilgrim putting his head through the sky. it is for Flammarion's book on the weather and it is not a copy of anything older, whatever is said of it afterwards)
• cur | prev 1874 J. W. Draper (talk | contribs) . . (1,910 bytes) (+380) . . (→ religion and science have been at war throughout, and here is the clearest exhibit of it. no technical knowledge is needed to feel the force of this one, which is its merit)
• cur | prev 1868 a schoolbook (talk | contribs) . . (1,530 bytes) (+100) . . (→ took both and printed them together. the children will have this and nothing else, and they will have it for a hundred years)
• cur | prev 1835 A.-J. Letronne (talk | contribs) . . (1,430 bytes) (+240) . . (→ the Fathers held the earth flat. the evidence is thinner than I have made it look and I have made it look sufficient)
• cur | prev 1828 W. Irving (talk | contribs) . . (1,190 bytes) (+560) . . (→ added the council at Salamanca, the hooded churchmen, and the navigator alone with the truth. it is a life and not a monograph and I have written it as one)
• cur | prev 1706 a Greek manuscript (talk | contribs) . . (630 bytes) (+120) . . (→ Cosmas Indicopleustes has reached the Latin West. the earth in him is flat and under an arch. he has been copied in Greek and in Slavonic for centuries and read here by nobody, this year being the first opportunity)
• cur | prev 1320 a reader (talk | contribs) . . (510 bytes) (+90) m . . (→ nothing to correct. the difficulty in this country is not the shape, it is whether anyone can be living on the other side of it)
• cur | prev 1230 J. de Sacrobosco (talk | contribs) . . (420 bytes) (+420) . . (created page; the earth is a globe, and here is the demonstration. this is for the first-year men at Paris and will do for them for some centuries)
