Cadran solaire de direction horizontal : type à fil-axe Auteur : Klieber Ullrich III (1529-vers 1606) Période : 16e siècle Date : 1592  http://www.photo.rmn.fr/ “B-A Note: Wow! Gorgeous - I wish I could see the detail on that compass / clasp / whatever it is better. I found some further information on Klieber here, where you can see images of two more pieces he made: an Astronomical Compendium and a Gunner’s Sight and Level. I may keep trying to find more on this piece. (Yes, I admit, along with books I have a fascination with scientific instruments, particularly ancient/medieval ones.)” — book-aesthete
