[edit] John of Gorze
The person referred to in previous versions of the article as "Abbot Johannes of Göritz" was in fact at a slightly later date abbot of Gorze in present-day Lorraine, and is usually referred to in historical works in English as John of Gorze (no article at present, but I'm about to put up a request for one: the entire history of this embassy needs fuller treatment on Wikipedia, and John of Gorze was apparently also an important monastic reformer).

[edit] "The Ornament of the World"
María Rosa Menocal's "The Ornament of the World" (ISBN 0-316-56688-8) says that the Disocoridian work that Hasdai helped translate was "On Medicine". Charles Papadelis 07:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
