Antonio Paluzíe Borrell

(extended biography)

Wilkins and Moore is dedicated to him (and others), and mentions him at:
- Acknowledgments, where he is thanked for contributing details of lunar maps.
- A section of the Introduction on the International Lunar Society (formed 1956), where he is named as the Permanent Secretary.
- Part 1 of Appendix II, a list (for which he was largely responsible) of lunar maps and globes.
- Part 2 of Appendix II, a list of the new names on Wilkins and Moore's 300-inch lunar map, of which he is credited with contributing many.
The Spanish Wikipedia, in a section on the 19th and 20th centuries, says:
- "[Amongst] Spanish astronomers there are outstanding selenographers, such as ... Antonio Paluzíe [a] specialist in [the] history of ... lunar cartography..."
