Since my only reservation with Manticore was that it is without precedent in games, and the Editors seem fine with the exception in this case, Manticore is fine with me too. I've updated the page to refer to it so unless Ben strongly objects this is probably the near‐final version.

I've also made a few additional tweaks and added some extra uses: Jörg Knappen's Seeping Switchers and the Gryphon compound in (Gollon's, though according to Jean‐Louis in another comment not Pritchard's, account of) Mideast Chess.

@Ben: Thanks for the reminder about Botterill inventing the Prelate — that had completely passed through my mind and I hadn't read through the article again while drafting this. Also I've added Aanca, as well as the other two names used both for the modern piece and by more than one person, to the first paragraph.

@Jean‐Louis: Thanks, that's good to know. Plenty of interesting material there indeed (though I was already familiar with your GA page :) ). No doubt I shall have to take a look into the Musser translation when I have a bit more free time

As far as I can tell, that leaves this page substantially complete. Any remaining remarks?
