Jamnitzer's book Perspectiva Corporum Regularium comprised a set of woodcuts illustrating what one might describe as themes and variations on cutting away parts of the Platonic solids. A few of them depicted figures which we nowadays tend to interpret as stellations or facettings. It seems to me that claiming any particular one of Jamnitzer's subjects to be such, would imply that he realised as much. Yet there is no evidence that he envisaged the internal structure necessary for such figures to be facettings. Without a reliable source making the claim on his behalf, any inclusion of Jamnitzer in this article must amount to original research. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:53, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
On what I deem to be your home page you sound much more confident about Jamnitzers work: "a series of woodcuts among which are examples clearly showing that he understands the processes of stellation and facetting"
