The catalog is Reinhard Glasemann, _Erde, Sonne, Mond & Sterne: Globen, Sonnenuhren und astronomische Instrumente im Historischen Museum Frankfurt am Main_ (Verlag Waldemar Kramer, Frankfurt am Main, 1999 [= _Schriften des Historischen Museums Frankfurt am Main_, nr. 20]), 166 pp, ISBN 3-7829-0504-0. About a year ago, the catalog was still available. ======================================================= * Robert H. van Gent * * E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Homepage: http://www.phys.uu.nl/~vgent/homepage.htm * ======================================================= -
