 ====== Impression Devices ======
-Writing impression devices were known at least as far back as 1593; see Galasso's //Giochi de carte//. It's worth noting the version in //Magic and Its Mysteries// by W. H. J. Shaw (1893). In "The Spirit Communication" a small piece of paper is used, prepared with white wax or soap. The paper is set on a sheet of glass when the writing is done. The impression is read without the use of a developing agent (e.g., graphite); rather, it is read by observing the glass sheet from an appropriate angle. Also see Walford Taylor's overview on impression devices in //The Magic circular//, Vol. 101, [[http://askalexander.org/display/24775/The+Magic+Circular/8|Nos. 1086]] & [[http://askalexander.org/display/24775/The+Magic+Circular/46|1087]], January & February, 2007, pp. 6-7 & 38-40.
+A writing impression device was detailed in Horatio Galasso's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/13226/Gibeci+re/129|Giochi de Carte]]//, 1593, p. 129 of the Pieper translation. This book was translated in //Gibecière//, Vol. 2 No. 2, Summer 2007, p. 15-150. On [[http://askalexander.org/display/13226/Gibeci+re/185|page 185]], Vanni Bossi claims that the impression device goes back even further to //Libro nuovo d’imparare a scrivere tutte sorte lettere antiche et moderne di tutte nationi//, 1540.
+It's worth noting the version in W.H.J. Shaw's //Magic and Its Mysteries//, 1893, p. 49. In "The Spirit Communication" a small piece of paper is used, prepared with white wax or soap. The paper is set on a sheet of glass when the writing is done. The impression is read without the use of a developing agent (e.g., graphite); rather, it is read by observing the glass sheet from an appropriate angle.
+Walford Taylor wrote a two-part overview on impression devices in //The Magic Circular//, Vol. 101, Nos. [[http://askalexander.org/display/24775/The+Magic+Circular/8|1086]] & [[http://askalexander.org/display/24775/The+Magic+Circular/46|1087]], Jan. & Feb. 2007, p. 6-7 & 38-40, respectively.
