A fact from Atanasiu di Iaci appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 October 2008, and was viewed approximately 445 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Anastasiu di Iaci wrote Vinuta di lu re Iapicu in Catania shortly after 1287, making it one of the earliest narrative sources for the War of the Vespers?
Sadly, I could not fix this before it went on the main page as a Did you know?, but the name "Anastasiu" which I used in my reading notes for the Dizionario when I first created this article was apparently the result of an attack of dyslexia... Not even the Dizionario uses this form, which is a different name, derived from Anastasius. The name Athanasius is correct. I was sure there must have been an ambiguity in the MSS, b/c my reading notes were so clear, but I finally checked the library today b/c I began to doubt that this was correct. It isn't. He has only one name. Srnec (talk) 20:37, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
