    — 1993, E. Heil, H. Martini, 1.11: Special convex bodies, P. M. Gruber, J. M> Wills (editors), Handbook of Convex Geometry, Volume A, page 352, These duals are also called Catalan solids, because Catalan was the first mathematician who described all of them, cf. Brückner (1900, p. 160). Some of the Catalan solids are much older, e.g., the rhombic dodecahedron, which plays a role in crystallography (cf. chapter 37), and the rhombic triacontahedron, which is of some importance also in the theory of quasicrystals (cf. chapter 3.5).
