Reply to : Frank Evans >> Greetings fellow dialists, During the recent tour of Austria by the British Sundial Society we were shown a dial on the wall of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna which is thought to date from 1445. It is believed to be the first in the western world to have its gnomon in line with the earth's axis. The Austrian Sundial Society proudly use it in their logo. <<
I'm sorry that I missed that. I spent six months working in Vienna in 1978-79, and love the cathedral, but I wasn't 'into' sundials in those days. Is there a picture of the dial ? Richard. E-mail from: Richard Mallett, 17-Jun-2002 -
