Random, unexplained author name: "Edmond Bordeaux Szekely"

Somehow, St. John the Evangelist is Edmond Bordeaux Szekely:

There's one book with one edition, authored by "St. John the Evangelist", but it somehow is calculated as "Edmond Bordeaux Szekely".

Another puzzler:

https://www.librarything.com/author/johannesevangelist

This page has no author name at the top.

I recently separated both out from "Saint John". Anyone know what the heck is going on?

That Szekely thing is really weird, but it looks like both of these just needed a 'Recalculate author name', after a 'Recalculate title/author' on the one work that had had the Szekely name appearing on its page too.

For the first I can just offer a guess: someone by that name edited a work by "Saint John" and was combined into it to make the book combinable with the rest? It's not the most elegant solution, but it happened before. That name should then have been removed from the combined author page, since it's obviously not the same person.

The second is easy: that's German for John the Evangelist. I think it should have remained combined.

Brilliant, thanks.

The second has retrieved its name at the top - when I originally posted, the space where the name usually is was just blank. The reason I've separated them out is that Saint John has a few works that belong to different Saint Johns... and there's a St. John author page that's already divided as well. I'll combine the St. John the Evangelist/Apostle/Divine/Theologian pages so there's a specific page for the Apostle John.

>4 gabriel: I see. Yes, combining that one with an unspecific "Saint John" would not be right.

Edmond Bordeaux Szekely (March 5, 1905 – 1979) was a Hungarian philologist/linguist, philosopher, psychologist and natural living enthusiast. Szekely authored The Essene Gospel of Peace, which he translated from an ancient text he supposedly discovered in the 1920s. Scholars consider the text a forgery. Wikipedia
