Description from the seller
Dom Pierre de Sainte-Marie-Madeleine. Treatise on horologigraphy. Without title page, 1663?, pp. 1-312 and 72 plates.
A small quarto volume (150x100 mm), full calf, with decorated raised bands on the spine (binding of the period). Wear and rubbing on the boards and spine, losses on the boards, the lower part of the joint of the second board and the upper part of the spine, light damp-stain on the upper part of several plates. Interior fresh.
Missing the first eight pages including the frontispiece, title page, dedicatory epistle, and the table of contents page. The work begins on page 1. The pagination is identical to the 1663 edition.
This treatise on gnomonics sets out the methods for tracing hour lines and constructing sundials on different surfaces and in various orientations. Dom Pierre de Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, a monk of the Feuillants order, develops the geometric principles needed to realize sundials and describes several instruments intended to determine the time, including at night.
Well complete with the 72 plates hors-texte.
