Poe's Eureka: names

This page is under construction.

Here is a list of names of people quoted in Eureka. Please notice that some names were distorted by Poe in the satyrical first part of Eureka (e.g. the famous philosopher Aries Tottle...). I obtained this list through an automated computer analysis of the electronic text available at the Ehrlich's Webliography (and I could not check it for the moment!).
