Correspondences of this site with the book "Finding Minerva"

For the cost of the book to remain reasonable, it was impossible to illustrate it as many would have liked.

​

You will nevertheless find to follow, for each chapter, a link to the pages of this site which illustrate the said chapter, or, exceptionally, specially created pages.

​

The book and the site do not have the same purpose and there is not always a correspondence between one and the other. The site will present more graphics and documents but provides less explanation than the book.

​

Attention navigation between the pages of the site by the arrows at the bottom of the pages of the site does not correspond to the chapters, use the back button if you want to return to this page
