Cross posted to HASTRO, Rete and Sundials. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I call your attention to my book, "The Astrolabe" (soft cover, 434 pp., 264 figs.) which is now available. It covers the description, use, theory, history and design of the planispheric astrolabe, universal astrolabes, related quadrants and horizontal instruments, astrolabe variations and astrolabe clocks. The necessary background is included as is practical advice on making an inexpensive astrolabe reproduction. The table of contents and a sample chapter are at: www.astrolabes.org/theastrolabe.htm.
