External Links: "complete"
[edit]In the external-links section you can read:
- Second English translation, by John Bostock and Henry Thomas Riley, 1855; complete, with index
However, Bostock's work does not seem to be complete. In fact, book VII ends with chapter 61, while Pliny wrote 87 chapters, as you can see in the original version on Perseus. Galtzaile (talk) 17:03, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
Latin Name
[edit]Why does the text repeatedly call it "Naturalis Historia", even in the caption right next to the picture of the cover which clearly reads "Naturalis Historiæ"? 86.26.33.25 (talk) 20:32, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
Artibatirae
[edit]This is not so much a problem with the article itself, but more so with the subject matter, which I’ve tried to research for sometime and have come up with nothing; In which book/volume of Naturalis Historia is the Artibatirae mentioned? 97.88.217.246 (talk) 05:57, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
