'This, at least, is the opinion of Rettberg ("Kirchengesch. Deutschlands", II, 236).' at the end makes the article problematic. ssepp(talk) 21:32, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Thomas Paine

Is this the "Virgilius" mentioned in Paine's Age of Reason?

"And prior to that time Virgilius was condemned to be burned for asserting the antipodes, or in other words, that the earth was a globe, and habitable in every part where there was land; yet the truth of this is now too well known even to be told."

There is some commentary about this passage on the Project Gutenberg version of Age of Reason,[1] which discusses the background on Paine's confusion. Is it worth mentioning in this article? That passage is what brought me here to answer the questions it stirred up. There ought to at least me a mention under "Arts & Culture." If his execution was a widespread myth in Paine's time, that is interesting in and of itself. But I don't feel enough expert in the matter to decide or do the write-up.
