Dear Darek and Maciej, Thank you for your quick replies. I know that Dobromil is presently in Ukraine and not Poland, but the town has been associated with a number of different nations. Before 1772, I believe it was part of Poland; after 1772, it was in the Galicia region of the Hapsburg Empire and associated with Austria. In World War I, Dobromil returned to Poland. In World War II, it was invaded by the Germans, and ended up in the Soviet Union.
It seemed to me that the sundial was signed in the Polish language. Is that correct? I will have a look at the catalogue of the collection of Przypkowski Museum in Jędrzejów. Thank you for the reference. Best wishes, Sara From: sundial <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Darek Oczki Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2020 8:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Odp: sundial Digest, Vol 177, Issue 15 Hi Sara. Thank you for bringing this out. To be honest I have new encountered his name in any literature or article about dialing in Poland. It seems this name was never mentioned. I will do some research and try to find something. What is for sure is that Dobromil is a city in present Ukraine.

Harvard has an Augsburg-type sundial signed "G. I. Turasiewicz w Dobromilu." I would like to know more about this maker. If you know his full name, dates, and so forth, I would appreciate hearing from you. Best wishes, Sara Sara J. Schechner, PhD, FAAS David P.
