Description

SEBASTIAN MÜNSTER'S IMPORTANT WORK ON SUNDIALS AND HOROLOGY, illustrated with many very impressive woodcuts, some attributed to Holbein the Younger. The work displays not only Münster's mathematical and scientific abilities but also those of a master-craftsman. The many fine woodcuts include sundials, quadrants and various other measuring devices, some of which are attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger. The work was original published in Latin in 1531. This edition appeared several years prior to Muenster's famed 'Cosmographia' and is far scarcer.
