Della fabrica & vso del novo horologio vniversale is a 1590 Venetian treatise by Giovanni Paolo Gallucci, printed by Gratioso Perchacino, on constructing and using a universal sundial for any latitude, aimed at astronomers and instrument makers. Its woodcut pictures show dials with Roman hour numerals, radiating lines, and star or lettered centres, giving designers clear, dense examples of circular geometric layouts and numeral rings.
