Dear Reinhold & all,
Just to set the record straight: the photo in the English summary of the
May 2006 Bulletin depicts the old polyhedral sundial that was recently
brought to the Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker.
Actually, I would not call it a "polyhedron", as I would reserve that
term for a convex body bounded by regular polygons. The polygons may or
may not all be the same. A multiple sundial such as this one, with lots
of edges and crevices, has been called a "Blocksonnenuhr" (block
sundial) by René Rohr, and that is also the term I used in the article
in the Bulletin.
Best regards,
Frans

Remnants of a stone dial of the Sibculo monastery, found in 1928, are
discussed to see what may be done with them.
Is there already a decision about this very interesting object? It
really would be worth to be re-animated!
Best wishes!
Reinhod
