Hello Alexei !

The little book by Peter I. Drinkwater ( about 82 pages) is not a
"mathematical" book on Sundials.

The aspect of the book and the geometric constructions (some very
complicated) are in fact the most important part of the book.  Only in the
Appendix (5 pages) we find some simple formulae.

The writing and the drawings look like the  books of the Cinquecento.
