Dear Wolfgang,
 
Thank you very much for these two links - most useful.  I am getting a problem 
with the second link, though: Google opens the journal for me but the pages on 
the Erfurt sundials 
are blank except for the message 
 
"Sie haben entweder eine Seite erreicht, die nicht angezeigt werden kann, oder 
die Anzeigebeschrankung fur dieses Buch erreicht"

which presumably means that the article is not available as I am in the UK 
rather than Germany. Is there any other way I could access the article, please? 
- preferably in a form that can be auto-translated!
 
Regards,
 
John

Daniel Roth's "sundial links" at
http://www.infraroth.de/index.html?nav_d.html,/cgi-bin/slinks.pl
contain a link to
"Almost 200 pictures of sundials & other astronomical clocks
(by Peter Lindner)" at
http://home.arcor.de/peter.lindner/sundials.htm .

I visited this site today by chance when searching for something else,
and I found that the site now contains "959 Sundials/Astronomical clocks
in 3681 pictures" as written in the header. Very worth a visit.

A more special source, but very comprehensive is the paper "Historische
Sonnenuhren in der Erfurter Altstadt" (Historical sundials in the
historic center of Erfurt, in German only) by Tim Erthel, published in
"Mitteilungen des Vereins fuer die Geschichte und Altertumskunde
von Erfurt" 72. Heft, Neue Folge, Heft 19, 2011, p. 41-71,
and available for complete preview at
http://books.google.de/books?id=k0YvN5iEqJMC&pg=PA41 .

Best regards,
Wolfgang Dick
