Welcome!
.To the France directory of our LexiLine files at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LexiLine/files/France/
I have uploaded the file
kerlescan.gif
which marks Cepheus in the smaller Carnac planisphere.
The name Kerlescan obviously derives from KER ("house") plus LE
plus SCAN which is similar to the ancient Arabic transcription
KANkaus for Cepheus (see Richard Hinckley Allen, Star Names, p. 156)
and also Arabic SAN for Cepheus (p. 157).
