Dear Darek,
By horas benedictinus, he means the hours according to the Benedictine
Rule--better known as the hours of the divine office. These are unequal
hours used by the monks for the times of prayer: prime,...,
tercesext...nones...etc. The Catholic church used these hours
if the dial could be related to HORAS BENEDICTINUS. This
terms is new to me. Could someone help me understand this, please?
What does it refer to?

An archeologist discovered a very old sundial on a church
These times were based on the position of the sun and shadow lengths:
dawn, sunrise, mid-morning, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and nightfall.
Moslem prayer times used the same time system but generally dropped the
sunrise and mid-morning prayers.
If we talking on the Rule
but by
the natural circadian and solar rhythms.
