Dear Vladimiro While agreeing with everything you have written I do think we may have missed the point a little. My reply was to point out to / remind Stefan that there was at least one other name connected to this particular projection. I have no axe to grind with the projection per se. Secondly, there are a lot of people out here who are not learned (your bold type). I do classify myself as a lover of maps and an amateur collector and perhaps know a little more about these wonderful works of art than many, but I do not classify myself as learned as I still have much to learn. Thirdly, and most importantly, we have not given poor Stefan many sources which he can refer to which was his original appeal. (Sorry if I have missed any besides Joost's references to his father's work.) Maybe some of the learned community out there can give him some decent references. I do not think anyone wants to start up a pro-contra discussion here as I believe most readers are on your side.
