The "The elephant (alfil) as depicted in Xiangqi (Chinese chess)" is not Chinese at all. It is a drawing of the Elephant from the so-called Charlemagne chess set.

The "An illustration of the alfil from Chessmen (1937)." is doubtful. It looks like the Bishop from Jacobus Publicius, in his Ars oratoria, Ars epistolandi, Ars memorativa, published by Erhard Ratdolt in Venice in 1482. Whether the Bishop from that year in that place were still moving like the old Alfil is not the question. It is misleading to let the reader that it existed a special design for the piece Alfil. This drawing is simply illustrating a chess Bishop in 1482. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cazaux (talk • contribs) 08:52, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
