Rajmaan: Again, much appreciation for your work in finding these links, but they would be more helpful if you labelled them to say what they are and what a reader is supposed to use them for. Also, these particular links are already on the article page. Cheers, ch (talk) 19:27, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize that they were already on the page, but other publishers like Harrassowitz Verlag and Osprey publishing don't have lists of works on their articles and I may get to work on them.Rajmaan (talk) 04:59, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This list doesn't look right to me. I have the set up to volume 5 part 5. Volume 5 parts 2 to 5 are all section 33, "Alchemy and Chemistry" ?

It should also somehow be explained that some of these works were not available in the United States and possibly other places at the time of their reported publication here on the Wikipedia page article... As they have actually had an uneven publication history ... Stevenmitchell (talk) 20:27, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism from Scholars

JN's work in SCC comes in for ad hominem attacks by David Abulafia in 'The Boundless Sea' (2020, pp 243 & 254), relying substantially on the indirect source of 'The Shorter SCC' (Colin Ronan's abridgement of JN); eg stating that JN/CR's hypothesis on the genesis of Viking use of the compass has been discredited, without citing his source for that assertion. One wonders whether the young DA was on the receiving end of some personal slight from JN when the latter was Master of their shared College (Gonville & Caius, Cambridge). (BC, 21 June 2020)
