I've just added Mynors' edition of Cassiodorus to the bibliography (I hadn't noticed it was missing before) and have inserted a couple of sentences about it to the textual criticism section. —Noswall59 (talk) 08:36, 29 April 2021 (UTC).[reply]
@GiantSnowman: I changed the name in the infobox back to full name. I understand why we would want to have the article title match the infobox; but we had a discussion about this at FAC and determined that the honorific 'Sir' may not be used with initials.

@Modussiccandi: I'm not going to edit further, but I personally think it's a stupid decision that makes no sense. GiantSnowman 09:42, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing that a handful of people have now voiced this opinion, I will no longer stand in the way of consensus. Feel free to change the name in the infobox. I find it surprising that people feel strongly about this in either direction. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:28, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed this, many thanks. GiantSnowman 17:52, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have reverted the spelling back to Vergil in order to match the blurb and to restore the variant approved by the FAC reviewers. Professional classicists use both spelling variants; which version one uses is entirely down to preference and there is ancient evidence in both directions.
