| Jul 7, 2010 at 1:27 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | I would like to supplement Igor's post: There seems to be no evidence that Dürer recognized this as a problem that needed a proof. I believe the problem was first posed as a clear problem in need of resolution in the Shephard paper Igor cited. So this runs into the same issue discussed by Noah and Victor et al. in the comments to Noah's accepted answer. | |
