New page

The spelling ''Necrotelecomnicon'' appears frequently on the internet, but the only respectable sources I have come across are Wikipedia (US) and Daibhid Ceanaideach in one mention in 2004 on AFP (these may be the same: David contributes to Wikipedia.) Leo Breebaart, Stephen Briggs, and Terry Pratchett use "i", and I suggest the last carries more weight than anyone. I can't find ''Necrotelecomnicon'' anywhere in the canon or the "official" commentary such as the ''Companion''. References I ''have'' found are :

*''The Light Fantastic'' ...Some may talk of the '''Necrotelicomnicon''', (Corgi PB p.13 , Harper PB p.5)

*''Equal Rites'' ...the hideous old dark gods of the '''Necrotelicomnicon''' (Harper PB p.112)

*''Moving Pictures'' ...'''Necrotelicomnicon''' Discussed for Students (Corgi PB p.33)

*''Sourcery'' ...the first edition of the '''Necrotelicomnicon''' (Corgi PB p.16)

*''The New DW Companion'' ...Article '''Necrotelicomnicon''' p.173

Then you have my apologies. The only source I have right now is memory. I was going to check this when I got home on Saturday. [[User:Cortle Steeze|Cortle Steeze]] 10:55, 29 November 2006 (CET)

:For those who don't check the recent changes: Page has been moved and spelling has been changed. --[[User:Death|Death]] 12:22, 29 November 2006 (CET)

*This just in: later in ''The Light Fantastic'', Cohen rescues a copy of the '''Necrotelecomnicon''' (sic) from the Star People. Inconsistency remains consistent.--[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 19:46, 11 February 2007 (CET)

**And, to be a pain, On p210 of the Corgi PB version of ''Equal Rites'', we have Simon's explanation to Esk of why she shouldn't magical books unpreparedly with the example of the wizard who let his mind wander whilst reading the Necrotel'''e'''comnicon.--[[User:Knmatt|Knmatt]] 17:43, 20 November 2010 (CET)

:I could argue that, as an ancient Discworld text, the book probably has optional spelling 8-). Seriously, if Pterry usually calls it the Necrotelicomnicon, then by definition he's right, and the fact he's misspelled it once merely proves he's human. The Wikipedia article is probably my fault, and I'll change it forthwith. [[User:Daibhid C|Daibhid C]] 02:59, 9 October 2007 (CEST)

Necrotelecomnicon in {{GO}} page 390. Also it mentions Liber Paginarum Fulvarum as a separate book on the same page, as in "the ''Necrotelecomnicon'' or the ''Liber Pagarum Fulvarum'' or his old favorite, the ''Malles Malleficarum''". --Confusion 17:41, 24 November 2011 (CET)

But Necrotelicomnicon and it as same as Liber Paginarum Fulvarum on page 112 {{ER}} American version "of the Necrotelicomnicon, the book known to certain mad adepts by its true name of ''Liber Paginarum Fulvarum''"--Confusion 04:52, 18 December 2011 (CET)

==Newest edit: Necrotelicomnicon vs Liber Paginarum Fulvarum==
According to the Discworld Companion Liber Paginarum Fulvarum is just another name for this book. --[[User:Death|Death]] 09:06, 27 April 2007 (CEST)

:According to everybody, I thought. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 13:39, 27 April 2007 (CEST)

"Everybody" now including this researcher. Correction made. Apologies. --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 14:00, 27 April 2007 (CEST)

== ==
"The title is probally not ''Necrotelicomnicon'' or ''Liber Paginarium Fulvarum'' otherwise it would be stated as such"? Several places where it's stated are listed above. It's probably 'probably', too. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 15:35, 20 November 2011 (CET)

I said ''Necrotelicomnicon '''or''' Liber Paginarium Fulvarum''. The OR being in italics is important. One name seems to take priority over the other. It's just not sure what. Or it has another name, which we're not told... [[User:Marmosetpower|Marmosetpower]] 15:01, 18 December 2011 (CET)
:You could reinstall the point in clearer form, but did anyone ever think the title included "or"? I assumed ''Liber Paginarum Fulvarum'' was the Latatian description of the older Ephebian-derived title. We haven't heard a Klatchian title: it would be in strange curly writing, probably. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 16:08, 18 December 2011 (CET)
