This is the 7th book in Fred SawyerÕs Sciatherics series.
It is a translation of Joseph DreckerÕs 1925 classic Die Theorie der Sonnenuhren.
This book is not a general introduction to modern gnomonics. Rather, it is the
culmination of centuries of research primarily on those ancient sundials that
attributed 12 (variable length seasonal) hours of sunlight to each day of the
year. The system of seasonal hours was in use for well over 1,000 years and yet
in that time there was never any clear understanding of the true mathematical
nature of the hour lines or curves.
Additional topics include ancient portable dials, Italian and Babylonian hours,
Planetary hours, equal hour gnomonic sundials, Foster/Lambert dials, and bifilar
sundials.
