From what I have gleaned, the subject most likely had ALS or spinal muscular atrophy. "Muscle disease is considered possible, but motor neuron disease - either amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or spinal muscular atrophy - seems to be the most convincing diagnosis."

According to Biography of St. Hermann of Reichenau, Univ. St. Andrew's, Scottland the subject probably himself did not speak or read Arabic, but Gerbert of Aurillac (who would become Pope Sylvester II) had most likely translated the mathematics and scientific documents from sources in Spain, and that those translations made their way to the Monastery in Reichenau. That said, can we hold hostage what is stated in other sources without objective proof to the contrary?Caisson 06 (talk) 19:59, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The very bright supernova of 1054 that formed what is now the Crab Nebula happend in July 1054, so 2 months before his death. Did he observe it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:e422:3c01:714b:5300:83ef:2fa5 (talk) 08:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, no, he went blind in his later life, well before the supernova occurred. Bummer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E40F:9601:C8DB:5945:1:13E4 (talk) 08:09, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
