# Disputatio:Novum Eboracum

### E Vicipaedia

"(Pietatis causa textum Anglicum non delendum censui)": I see no reason to keep it. A) it's in English B) it's wrong ("Nova"??) C) It seems to feel it necessary to explain why New York should have a Latin name. Maybe some people need such an explanation, but not people who are using or writing a Latin wiki! --Iustinus 06:52 iul 4, 2004 (UTC)

I think it should be moved to the discussion page, er... censeo movendum in paginam disputationis.

The 'correct' Latin name for New York state is Novum Eboracum, the city, Civitas Novi Eboraci. 'Correct' in this instance means 'frequently used'; an antiquated manner of identifying the publication origin of books was to include the city of publication in Latin (or Neolatin or Pseudolatin, as the case might have been). Presumably, this was to let foreign readers identify the city name by using a 'universal' naming standard in much the same way Biological Taxonomy uses Latin. This practice, obviously, has been deprecated over the years. Also the seal of Columbia University bears the legend "Sigillum Collegii Columbiae Novi Eboraci." On a side note -- Eboracum was not only the Latin word for the place that became the English county of York, but, via some interesting sound and orthographical changes, the actual origin of the word 'York'.

Pessime! Haec pagina nescit ubi est! Civitas foederalis aut urbs est? Seriously, we have interwiki links going to both New York City and New York State. Which article is this? Is this for the state (it doesn't look like it is), or is it for the city (it does look like it is)? I'd split it into state and city pages, but I don't have enough wiki savvy to do that yet. --Sinister Petrus (26 Sept 2005)

It is now quite obvious that this page is about New York State. So, I changed the interwiki links. --2514 13:10, 2 Martii 2006 (UTC)2514
