• ... that the Transylvanian nobleman János Gerendi refrained from eating blood and strangled animals, but did not keep all the Old Testament laws around 1585? Source: "Around the middle of the 1580s it was known that ... certain rules - though only a few - were followed with respect to diet and the slaughtering of livestock. The innovation-friendly nobleman had introduced some Old-Testament laws..." [1] "At the beginning of 1585, Christian Francken, in a letter to János Gerendi, criticized the ideas of the Gerendists, as István Szántó Arator, the Jesuat, called the Gerendi-circle. It turns out from this letter that at the beginning of the 1580s, the Gerendists kept from the Law the forbidden eating of blood and strangled animals." [2]

• Comment, not a review. It's not obvious that the ref as quoted supports the hook! "around 1585" should be placed earlier, if that is the actual dqate. Johnbod (talk) 00:19, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

@Johnbod:, thank you for your comment. Why do you think that the refs do not support the hook? Borsoka (talk) 06:47, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

The vnew hook is better, & I'll leave the reviewer to worry about that if you don't mind. Johnbod (talk) 09:45, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

• Full review needed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:49, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

• Comment a reading of the ALT1 hook renders both "refrained" and "strangled" as verbs relating to the subject. I suggest rephrasing it:
• ALT1a: ... that the Transylvanian nobleman János Gerendi refrained from eating blood and animals that had been strangled, but did not keep all the Old Testament laws? Yoninah (talk) 11:11, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

• Full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced. As all sources are offline or foreign language, unable to check for close paraphrasing. Image in article is freely licensed. Offline ALT1a hook AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT1a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 11:16, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
