Dear Roger,
Well, it was a lot of digging and we have huge mountains of snow
everywhere! But not as bad or dramatic as the Blizzard of 1978.
As for the Google Books scan of Bedos de Celles, the scanner never
bothered to unfold any of the plates. This is all too often the case
with the Google books. Part of the plate I want can be seen here:

Thanks for checking. I do appreciate it.

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

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 //G//nomonique/pratique (1774) or later editions of
these. Each has an image I would like to use in an exhibition.
Thanks for the help!
