    Extractions: It is known that the five Platonic polyhedra are the only regular convex polyhedra. A polyhedron, considered as a solid is convex if and only if the line segment between any two points of the polyhedron belongs entirely to the solid. However, if we admit a polyhedron to be non-convex, there exist four more types of regular polyhedra! The four regular non-convex polyhedra are known as the Kepler-Poinsot Polyhedra . Two of them were described by Johannes Kepler in 1619 as being regular, although the objects themselves certainly were known earlier. One of them appears on a 16th century drawing by Jamnitzer and the other on a 15th century mosaic on the floor of the San Marco in Venice. The other two were described by Louis Poinsot in 1809 but at least one of them appears on a drawing by the same Jamnitzer. In 1810 the French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy proved that the five Platonic and the four Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra are the only possible regular polyhedra.

33. The Kepler-Poinsot Polyhedra
    Two centuries later, in 1809, louis poinsot discovered two more nonconvex regularsolids the great dodecahedron and the great icosahedron.  
    http://home.comcast.net/~tpgettys/kepler.html
    
    Extractions: A polyhedron is regular if the faces are a single kind of regular polygon and the vertices are all the same. The 5 Platonic Solids are the convex regular polyhedrons. If we remove the constraint of convexity it turns out that there are only four more solids that can be added to the list; these are known as the Kepler-Poinsot Polyhedra It was Johann Kepler who, in 1619, first realized that 12 pentagrams can be joined in pairs along their edges in two different ways that result in regular solids. If five pentagrams meet at each vertex, the resulting solid has come to be known as the small stellated dodecahedron Small Stellated Dodecahedron If three pentagrams meet at each vertex, the resulting solid is now named the great stellated dodecahedron (The perhaps surprising reason for these names will be made evident shortly). Great Stellated Dodecahedron Two centuries later, in 1809, Louis Poinsot discovered two more non-convex regular solids: the great dodecahedron and the great icosahedron . The twelve faces of the great dodecahedron are pentagons (as with the ordinary dodecahedron), but which intersect each other. Likewise, the faces of the great icosahedron are the 20 triangles of the ordinary icosahedron, but intersecting each other.

    http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/kepler-poinsot-info.html
    
    Extractions: If we do not require polyhedra to be convex , we can find four more regular solids. As in the Platonic solids , these solids have identical regular polygons for all their faces, and the same number of faces meet at each vertex. What is new is that we allow for a notion of "going around twice" which results in faces which intersect each other. In the great stellated dodecahedron and the small stellated dodecahedron , the faces are pentagrams . It is easier to see which parts of the exterior belong to which pentagram if you look at a six-colored model of the great stellated dodecahedron and a six-colored model of the small stellated dodecahedron . The center of each pentagram is hidden inside the polyhedron. These two polyhedra were described by Johannes Kepler in 1619, and he deserves credit for first understanding them mathematically, but a 16th century drawing by Jamnitzer is very similar to the former and a 15th century mosaic attributed to Uccello illustrates the latter. These two polyhedra have three and five pentagrams, respectively, meeting at each vertex. Because the faces intersect each other, parts of each face are hidden by other faces, and you need to

    http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/jamnitzer.html
    
    Extractions: The Nuremberg goldsmith Wentzel Jamnitzer (1508-1585) is, in my opinion, one of the most creative polyhedral artists of all time. His 1568 book Perspectiva Corporum Regularium is a masterpiece of geometric design. It contains two types of plates. One type is a series of conceptual monuments such as this: The icosidodecahedron on the left above follows the style of da Vinci , but the style on the right is completely original. The freeform bases are especially interesting. No real monuments would rest on points like this, so Jamnitzer is actually displaying a kind of conceptual art. Similar balance is seen in the following pair of monuments, where the one on the right goes even further by having the outer icosahedral shape floating freely without support: These small reproductions do not show the details of the engravings. Click on this image for a clearer, larger image . The above plate is quite remarkable because the form on the left is almost exactly that of the rhombic triacontahedron , and the core of the shape on the right is almost exactly the great stellated dodecahedron . Both of these were first presented mathematically by Kepler , fifty years later, in 1619.

    Extractions: polyhedra.mathmos.net In addition to the five convex regular polyhedra (the Platonic Solids ) there are four non-convex regular polyhedra. These four solids were dicovered by Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) and Louis Poinsot (1777-1859), and were unknown to the ancient world. Three of the Keplar-Poinsot Star Polyhedra are the three stellations of the regular dodecahedron . Namely: The fourth is one of the many stellations of the icosahedron These solids' faces intersect one-another due to their 'star' faces or vertices.
