Actually some buoldings shown in the article are not medieval, se the dials or 
pseudo-dials on it are there only for cultural ornament. Different thinking we 
have to put on the medieval ones. As Frank just wrote that is a commom graphics 
to draw medieval sundials with temporal hours. Theay are gnomonically 
uncorrect, I know, but they were intended as sundials (horologium) for at list 
1000 year by all people living in Europe and Christian Middle East. That kind 
of pattern came fron antiquity: Egiptians made portable sundials so divided in 
a semycircle and Romans too (but fixed), and they were not decorative, they 
were made for reckoning time.

Subject: Re: Article about Armenian sundials

The Armenian sundials are more a building ornament than an instrument to 
measure the time.
The sundial scene is divided into 20 or 24 parts at equal angles (ie of 18 or 
15 degrees).
The shadow of a gnomon will indicate different time periods depending on the 
date.
