This page needs some cleanup. The phrase "translations of which ..." is chaotic. I changed "decimal" to "decimal point" but someone who knows should say exactly what Pitiscus is supposed to be credited with, since it is not clear it was a "point". (A
decimal separator of some kind was certainly known before him.)

Pitiscus
It was Samuel Pitiscus who wrote the Lexicon Antiquitatum Romanarum. —The preceding

Map
The map which is discussed in the article's history seem to be
Image:Blaeu 1645 - Nova totius Germaniæ descriptio.jpg, by one of the Dutch cartographers named
Blaeu. They seem not to use German
Umlaut at all, e.g. Colln, Dusseldorf, Lunenborg, Munster and Munchen for
Köln,
Düsseldorf,
Lüneburg,
Münster and
München. Also, its common in old texts to abbreviate "un" with "ū", in Latin e.g. "cū" means "cum". In that manner, the map shows Lādeck in Tirol, rather that
Landeck, or Lādau rather than
Landau. Its safe to say that Grūberg equals Grunberg, which is equal to Grünberg for the Dutch.--

As stated in
Macron: "In older handwriting styles, such as the German schrift, the macron over an m or an n meant that the letter was doubled. This continued into print in English in the sixteenth century. Over a u at the end of a word, the macron indicated um as a form of scribal abbreviation." --

Link towards the LOCOMAT collection
Do you think it appropriate to add a link towards my locomat (
http://www.loria.fr/~roegel/locomat.html) collection of reconstructions of mathematical tables? It contains full analyses and reconstructions of Pitiscus' tables.
