Hi Sara, Have you dug out of that meter of snow yet?
I have looked for Bedos de Celles in the past as his tables for the analemma were the basis for so many analemma noon marks in France. I have lost my original searches but Google books has a fair copy of his text available for free. I quickly perused the ebook and found it was text in French and tables without diagrams, a challenge for me to read. I just Googled the author and title to find this copy. Here is a link http://books.google.ca/books/about/La_gnomonique_pratique_ou_l_art_de_trace.html?id=_BY4AAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y Regards, Roger Bailey From: Schechner, Sara Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 3:57 PM To: Sundial List ([email protected]) Subject: digital versions of bedos de celles and pini? Dear Dialists, I am wondering if anyone knows of good quality / high resolution digital versions of Valentino Pini, Fabrica de gl'horologi solari (1598) and Bedos de Celles, La Gnomonique pratique (1774) or later editions of these. Each has an image I would like to use in an exhibition. Thanks for the help! Sara 42°36'N 71° 22'W West Newton, MA 02465 Sara J. Schechner, Ph.D. David P.
