Dear Roger, Well, it was a lot of digging and we have huge mountains of snow everywhere! But not as bad or dramatic as the Blizzard of 1978.
As for the Google Books scan of Bedos de Celles, the scanner never bothered to unfold any of the plates. This is all too often the case with the Google books. Part of the plate I want can be seen here: http://books.google.ca/books?id=_BY4AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA431#v=onepage&q&f=false. Thanks for checking. I do appreciate it.

Hi Sara, Have you dug out of that meter of snow yet? I have looked for Bedos de Celles in the past as his tables for the analemma were the basis for so many analemma noon marks in France. I have lost my original searches but Google books has a fair copy of his text available for free. I quickly perused the ebook and found it was text in French and tables without diagrams, a challenge for me to read. I just Googled the author and title to find this copy. Here is a link http://books.google.ca/books/about/La_gnomonique_pratique_ou_l_art_de_trace.html?id=_BY4AAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y Regards, Roger Bailey From: Schechner, Sara<mailto:sche...@fas.harvard.edu> Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 3:57 PM To: Sundial List (sundial@uni-koeln.de)<mailto:sundial@uni-koeln.de)> Subject: digital versions of bedos de celles and pini? Dear Dialists, I am wondering if anyone knows of good quality / high resolution digital versions of Valentino Pini, Fabrica de gl'horologi solari (1598) and Bedos de Celles, La Gnomonique pratique (1774) or later editions of these. Each has an image I would like to use in an exhibition. Thanks for the help! Sara 42°36'N 71° 22'W West Newton, MA 02465 Sara J. Schechner, Ph.D. David P.
