Interesting article, but I didn't know the meaning of "CE" in use with dates. It appears to mean "century", but on whose calendar? How about using AD to avoid confusion? I tried to edit, but found that it even says "12 century CE" in the article, which would mean "12 century century" - isn't that nonsense? Or do I misunderstand what CE means?

Well explained, thanks. Did you notice that when you look up [[CE]] in wikipedia, it also lists "Century" as one meaning (first entry), though? Not your fault, but that's what misled me. Tempel 05:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
The infbox gives the mislaeding impression that the book was first published in 2000 - is there some way that the box could include the fact that it has been republished from old manuscripts? Also it lists the translator as the author, which is obviously not the case.-- Peta 07:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
