Theban alphabet (reference article)

This atlas draws specific, checkable facts from a Wikipedia reference article on the Theban alphabet: the 1518 date establishing Johannes Trithemius's priority in recording it, the contested attribution to a figure called Honorius of Thebes, the alphabet's one to one correspondence with the older Latin alphabet, its absence of separate letters for J and U, and a documented modern confusion over the letter W. Wikipedia articles are collectively edited and can change, so this atlas has verified only the specific facts named above against the article as read, not the article's full current content or its underlying citations, which a reader should check independently for anything beyond those named points. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

Facts

Assessment

Reliability Tier

3

A Wikipedia reference article, collaboratively edited and anonymously authored, cited narrowly for checkable specifics (Trithemius's 1518 priority, the contested Honorius attribution stated as the tradition's own claim, the one to one Latin correspondence, the missing J and U). That is the tier-3 use, the tradition's or subject's own account cited as its own claim, not independent evidence; a general encyclopedia entry is not a reputable curated secondary source in the tier-2 sense.

Notes

Used for the 1518 Trithemius priority, the contested Honorius of Thebes ascription, the one-to-one correspondence with the old Latin alphabet, the absence of J and U, and the confusion over W.
