Hi everyone,

A few days ago, I examined the 1886 and 1900 editions
of the Unicode telegraphic phrase book held by the
British Library. Oddly, I could not find "Sessa" in the
business index at the back of either - while "Sessito"
was the nearest matching keyword. Note: the main
section is sorted alphabetically by keyword, while the
business section is sorted alphabetically by company
name.

All the same, I don't know how telegraphic names were
bought, allocated, maintained, or designated for
inclusion in the Unicode phrase book. Perhaps if other
editions (held by other libraries) were consulted we
might be able to get a better understanding of what
this means...

BTW, are there historians of this period of telegraphy
out there?

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....

I have been doing some research on the printers of some
early maps and editions of Sacro Bosco.  The family
name is Sessa, and they have an interesting
device/crest - the cat and mouse.  Has this been
discussed at all?

Thanks,
Matt
