The constellation was devised by Keyser and de Houtman on behalf of
Petrus Plancius, the Flemish globe-maker. According to Ian Ridpath, however, the Triangulum Australe that appeared on Plancius's celestial globe of 1598 lay south of Argo Navis and was not the same as the modern Triangulum Australe.
Johann Bayer's Triangulum Australe does correspond to the modern constellation, but did Bayer himself devise it? There is evidence, I believe that one of his principal models for the Uranometria was the Dutch globe of
Jodocus Hondius.

The image turned into a red link because I capitalized 'A' from Triangulum australe to Triangulum Australe, which is correct constellation name. So can you move this image page by capitalizing A, thank you.

There are two refs in the ref section that do not appear to be connected to any footnotes. These should probably be moved into a further reading section or the like.
I just removed them. They are textbooks which are not any more integral to the understanding of the subject mattter at hand. I think they are from an early version with non-inlined refsCasliber (
