Abstract
The complex relationship between Einstein's second postulate and the Maxwell electromagnetic theory is elucidated. A simple deduction of the main results of the Ignatowski approach to the theory of relativity is given. The peculiar status of the principle of relativity among the Maxwellians is illustrated.
Several statements have been corrected, and new sentences have been added to the penultimate paragraph of Section 3 and to the footnote 8, along with a new reference [43]
