Abstract
Morphisms between projective geometries are introduced; they are partially defined maps satisfying natural geometric conditions. It is shown that in the arguesian case the morphisms are exactly those maps which in terms of homogeneous coordinates are described by semilinear maps. If one restricts the considerations to automorphisms (collineations) one recovers the so-called fundamental theorem of projective geometry, cf. Theorem 2.26 in [2].
