A fact from Il Guerrin Meschino appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 February 2011 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I don't think we should find that surprising, as the concept of things having correct names is a fairly modern one. The Italian Wikipedia has its article at
Il Guerrin Meschino. Unless there's a compelling reason to think they have got it wrong, doesn't it make sense to follow that lead?

I don't think it's "wrong" - I just got the impression from a quick look that it was not necessarily published under this name, and that it might possibly be worth including alternate names in the first line.

Guerrino detto il Meschino is the main variant (see the list of editions in the Italian article, which might as well be copied here). I support adding that in the lead.

Anyway, I've added a list of editions (NB, the list on the Italian article isn't terribly good. A Padua edition of 1473 is the earliest I can find).
