Volume I appeared in 1996 and was reprinted with significant corrections in 2000. It deals with the historical development of the reflecting telescope with essentially “classical” technology from its invention up to about 1980 and gives the complete optical design and related theory of virtually all known telescope forms. An interesting addition in the reprint is the recently researched identity of Cassegrain in the Portrait Gallery of App. B. Volume II appeared in 1999 and deals with all aspects of the technological “revolution” from about 1970-1980 onwards, which allowed the breakthrough of the absolute barriers to further progress both in size and optical quality imposed by the limitations of classical technology. A corrected reprint appeared in mid- 2001.
