Dear Tom, I do own a copy of the marvelous "Western Astrolabes" book published by the Time Museum. I wonder whether other books of the series have been published or prepared (and if they will be published eventually?), e.g. the one planned since years about sundials? The plan supposedly was to publish a whole series as a museum catalogue. Any info appreciated! Best regards, Thierry vs 50.5N 4.3E -
