Quote source for "none so deaf"?

[edit]

It was interesting trying to track down this quote to a source using Web resources.

Worldofquotes.com attributes the quote to Matthew Henry; the online version of his commentary has it at Psalm 58. This was written 1706-1725 according to the same Web site - 200 years later than the play.

That seems to be "common wisdom" on the Net - but if this article is correct, not true. --Alvestrand 20:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Ravisius Textor is de:Johannes Ravisius on the German Wikipedia. --Alvestrand 20:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion - opposed

[edit]

A play that it interesting enough to be reprinted 400 years after it was written is notable enough for listing, in my opinion. If it had only existed as a rare original manuscript, I'd not bother opposing the prod. --Alvestrand 17:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Google Book Search found 100 references to "The Disobedient Child": [1], including this one: [2] I guess "obscure" is a relative term. --Alvestrand 06:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
