<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2514506, member: 76086&quot;]Yes, one of my favorite references.&nbsp; I have a copy and refer to it all the time.&nbsp; But to my recollection (I will have to re-read all the initial chapters) he doesn&#039;t explain the arrangement.&nbsp; He does of course talk about the &#039;colonisation&#039; and &#039;transmission&#039; of weight standards to Italy from the &#039;mother countries&#039;, but there is no explanation as to why he begins with Hispania.&nbsp; Perhaps it is just a simple matter of looking at the map and saying &#039;that is the furthest east&#039;.&nbsp; After all, westerners tend to write and read from left to right, top to bottom.&nbsp; But that of course doesn&#039;t explain the many differences in the books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
