Disputatio:Burgenland

Is "Burgenland" the correct name for this article? --Roland2 12:08, 8 Ianuarii 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure it isn't, but there doesnt seem to be an answer anywhere on the Internet for it. Maybe Pannonia could be a help (this was a "central hub" of Pannonia).--Harrissimo 21:46, 3 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
Hofmann's Lexicon universale gives both Gratiana and Gradiscia. --Neander 00:53, 4 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry, Neander, but I cannot confirm this. Where in Hofmann's Lexicon universale did you find this? [1] gives the following explanation for "Gradiscia:"
GRADISCIA, urbs Sclavoniae probe munita, ad Savum fluv. sub Turcis. In limite Croatiae, 8. mill. Germ. à Zagabria in Ort. Servitium antiq. Brietto.
As far as I understand this, this refers to a town on the Balcans, not to the province of Austria. (On a side note, I believe it will be difficult to find an appropriate Latin term for the Burgenland, as the Burgenland was formed only in 1921.)
Could you please double-check on this? Greetings, --UV 21:44, 9 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
I seem to have messed up something. Anyways, Graesse has "Gradiscia, Gratiana, Gradisca, St., Österr. (Görz u. Gradisca)." Thanks for the remark. --Neander 22:32, 9 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
And Burgenland is in Croatian Gradišće. --Neander 22:57, 9 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
I feel doubtful about this name. The detailed history of the name Burgenland at en:Burgenland says that it was invented in 1919 (in German) and that the Hungarian and Croatian forms are translations of it. It would be odd for us to adopt what is essentially the Croatian name, Croatians being a small minority of the population. The place called Görz and mentioned by Graesse is our current Goritia and is nowhere near the Burgenland: it is now on the border between Slovenia and Italy. There are many places called Gradisce (vel sim.) in the Balkans; Hofmann's is evidently one of them. I think we should probably go back to Burgenland. Andrew Dalby 13:16, 10 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
All right with me. And apologies to Harrissimo for misleading info. Neander 18:23, 10 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
