(fwd) CI Aql references (on 1917 outburst) Thanks! Dr. Martignoni!

After R.Prager (Geschichte und Literatur des Lichtwechsels der Veraenderlichen Sterne, Zweite Ausgabe, Erster Band, Berlin, 1934) we know that CI AQL was first classified as Nova by Parenago (P.Z. 33,34). He analyzed 19 plates taken at the Simeis Observatory: only on two of them (on 1909/08/10 and on 1926/07/05) he found CI AQL (both at mag.15:); Parenago deducted that it is a Nova as on the plate taken by Reinmuth at the Koenigstuhl Observatory (AN 5399) on 1917/06/25 the star was recorded at mag.11. References listed in H.Schneller (G.u.L., 1936) are: Esch: Vierteljahrschrift der A.G. 70,264 (Observations); Zinner: A.N. 265,346 (Observations).
