Introduction to Volume 2

The work consists of:

A Prologue by Tomas de Lara

Part 4: Papiroflexia y Papirolas Papirological: A detailed analysis of Dr Solorzano's system of 'deltoides' (bases) derived from oblongs.

Part 5: Realizaciones Papiroflexicas Zoomorphicas: Diagrams for various living creatures folded from oblongs. 38 designs of which 15 are cut.

Part 6: Realizaciones Papiroflexicas Zoomorphicas: Diagrams for various living creatures folded from right angle isosceles triangles, kite shapes, rhombuses, pentagons, hexagons, octagons and circles. 29 designs of which 16 are cut.

Part 7: Realizaciones Papiroflexicas Antropomorficas: Diagrams for various human figures. 33 designs of which 26 are cut.

Part 8: Realizaciones Papiroflexicas Prehistoricas: Diagrams for various prehistoric creatures. 22 designs of which 19 are cut.

Part 9: Realizaciones Papiroflexicas Articuladas: Diagrams for 2 and 3-part compound designs. 13 designs of which 8 are cut. It is interesting to note that Dr Solorzano does not use the compound method as a way of avoiding cuts but rather of modelling more complicated figures.

Bibliografia (Bibliography): There are several entries in this bibliography for books which are not otherwise known, and other entries are mispelt or otherwise incorrect. It seems unlikely that Solorzano had seen, or been influenced by, many of the books he includes.
