    This is a report of genuine novelty and significant importance. The reviewer was already familiar with the Weierstrass-type representation given for flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space around year 2000, by the first author (Gálvez), together with Martinez and Milan. The present paper continues expanding the research horizons by giving a complete description of flat surfaces in hyperbolic space that are regularly embedded around an isolated singularity. These surfaces are beautifully related to the class of regular analytic Jordan curves in 2-sphere. A to-the-point, well-written article.
