Lansbergen, Philips van, 1561-1632, Mogge, Jacob · 1675 · Tot Middelburgh : By Wilhelmus Goeree, boeck-verkooper in Cicero · 20 pictures

A 1675 Dutch treatise on sundials by Philips van Lansbergen, with additions by Jacob Mogge, printed in Middelburg by Wilhelmus Goeree for a practical audience of surveyors and craftsmen. Its plates are geometric diagrams of sundial layouts: radiating hour lines, dotted construction arcs, and projected circles, which a designer could use as clean, precise linework for dials, rays, or radial patterns.
