[edit] Scope?
Should this article exclusively catalog literary works, or should it include lost works of art (paintings, sculpture, etc.)? Or maybe should there be a separate Lost works of art article? Suggestions? MakeRocketGoNow 17:32, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps breaking these up into Lost works of literature and Lost works of art might be helpful. *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 18:17, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Created a new article, Lost artworks for non-literary lost works. MakeRocketGoNow 22:26, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Should this article try to be exaustive? Arrian's lost works are nowhere in this list. Should they be added?Ikokki 22:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. Added Arrian under Classical world - Multiple works. If you know the specific titles, please add them. MakeRocketGoNow 14:24, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lost early Christian theology
I know there were numerous early works of Christian theology that were eventually destroyed because they did not conform to later orthodoxy. Many of these works are lost in their original forms but are refered to in other theological works that denounce them. Can anyone provide more information of these for this article?

[edit] Euclid
No mention of the lost works of Euclid?
- Added them from Euclid article. MakeRocketGoNow 18:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Milton
Milton was a remarkable man, but not so remarkable that he could write so long after his death. --- D H
- This was an unsigned comment referring to the date of "about 1727" for Milton's two lost plays. I have removed the date and added a "fact" template. Someone might want to add a correct date if the reference to these plays is true. Andrew Dalby 17:19, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] El Manuscrito de Astorga
How is the Manuscrito de Astorga lost? Googling around I found a page in old Spanish that seems to be it or a part of it. Did Franco or his heirs lose it?
[edit] Quipu
Why are the quipus in the 15th century? They would be destroyed on the 16th.
- Works are listed by when they were created, not when they were destroyed. MakeRocketGoNow 13:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Plutarch
Scholars believe that only a third to one-half of Plutarch’s corpus is extant. See Plutarch#Lost_works If I come up with a comprehensive list of Plutarch's lost works I'll add it over here. -BiancaOfHell 11:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lost art forms?
Should there be a related article called lost art forms? For instance, Damascus steel/swords?
