I disagree. Allioli came first, mayonnaise would be its daughter as she 
is more than 300 years younger as far as we know. The relationship 
between the two is the technique: beating  garlic or an egg in a mortar 
while adding olive oil one drop at a time. The consistency is quite 
similar and without smelling them, it is hard to tell the difference 
once we look at the finished products.
Those are the basics. After that we have home recipes like mine and all 
the variations.
