[Untitled]

There is no author called Juan Andres Burrul. The word appearing after "juan andres" at the very begginning of Sumario breue d'la pratica d'la arithmetica d'todo el curso de larte mercantivol bien declarado is "humil" (meaning "humble"), as it can be clearly checked in the edition dedicated to Bishop Martín García.

The sentence "There is no evidence that he was also the author of a book against Muslim religion entitled Confusion de la secta mahomatica y d'l Alcorā where he states that he was faqih of Xàtiva.[1]", where [1] refers to page 181 of

Ausejo, Elena (2015). "New Perspectives on Commercial Arithmetic in Renaissance Spain". In David E. Rowe, Wann-Sheng Horng (eds.). A Delicate Balance: Global Perspectives on Innovation and Tradition in the History of Mathematics. Springer. pp. 181–207. doi:10.1007/978-3-319-12030-0_9. ISBN 978-3-319-12029-4

is false: Ausejo does prove that Juan Andrés is the author of both works.

Proposal to rename article to Juan Andrés (Mathematician) (or somethink like this) and merge with Juan Andrés (convert)

If preceding commentary is true, both articles are about the same person.--Ferran Mir (talk) 20:01, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, both articles are about the same person, the article should be renamed to Juan Andrés (Mathematician) and merge with Juan Andrés (convert) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.3.224.20 (talk) 17:02, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
