Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Frontispice from "Neue und grundliche Anweisung, wie nach einer universalen Methode grosse Sonnen-Uhren".

Doppelmayr was a German astronomer, geographer and cartographer whose scientific abilities were held in such high esteem that he was a member of the Academia Caesarea Leopoldina, the academies of Berlin and St Petersburg, and the Royal Society in London.

The basis of this book was a treatise on sundials by Eberhard Welper first published 1625, which Doppelmayr greatly expanded. The double-page plate shows a double-hemisphere world map showing California as an island.
