It is curious you mention this book...
A few monthes ago, I have unsuccessfully tried to put my hands on
it...The next thing I have read is the following written at a later
date. Hope this helps...

I would appreciate if you could you post the papers written before RM
was formulated initially. It is reasonnable to assume that the period
between 65 and 68 was the period where Codd slowly went from
mathematical and naive set theory to IS relation construct and I want
to understand that refining process better (rather than simply its
conclusions).
