hist-games: Illustr. of Pope-Joan boards

[Charles L Knutson]

Sorry. another question actually, not a reply...  The earliest 
reference I've found mentioned to Pope Joan is circa 1730's but the 
author didn't say where the reference was found. Does Anyone have 
anything earlier? Since the board markings are similar to Poch I've 
assumed some authors may have mistaken them for each other 
thereby confusing Pope Joan's origins.
