Dear all,
the Error Orontii is common in the gnomonic history. Pardies in his book
"Deux machines propres a faires les quadrans" (1673) do it. I have also find
it in the "Encyclopédie méthodique" of Panckoucke (1783-1832) at the article
"Amusements de gnomonique" for the description of the Capuchin Dial.
