Article name[edit]

I am surprised that the name of this article is "Kuster" and not "Küster", or, alternatively, the latinized form of the name used in publishing. Did this person ever call himself "Kuster"? --Crusio (talk) 11:39, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he calls himself by his latinized form there "Lud. Kusterus", not "Kuster". BTW, I find the article confusing and opaque. What does "prolegomena and with collations of 12 more manuscripts" mean? The phrase "Nine of these 12 codices were collated by Abbé de Louvois: 285, M, 9, 11, 119, 13, 14, 15, and Codex Ephraemi" seems to appear out of nowhere. What do these numbers mean? It should be possible to read this article without having to follow all these wikilinks and even then, the relationship between Kuster (also called "Küster" elsewhere in the article) with this Abbé is rather incomprehensible. Please bear in mind that non-specialists will be reading this article! --Crusio (talk) 13:46, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All ancient manuscripts (Homer, Plato, Aristotle, New Testament) are designated by this kind of sigla. Some of the manuscripts have names (Codex Boernerianus), but majority only numbers. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 14:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
