Spiegazione della meridiana : fatta nel giugno del 1780 in casa dell' Ecc[ellentissi]mo Sig[no]re Duca Mattei e di tutte le cose in essa contenute

Hahn, Philipp Matthäus · 1780 · [Italy?] : [producer not identified] · 3 pictures

This 1780 Italian work, probably printed in Italy with its producer unidentified, is an explanation by Philipp Matthäus Hahn of a meridian line laid out in the Duke Mattei's house, describing the instrument and its contents for astronomers and geodesists. The pictures are plain manuscript-style diagrams of the meridian's scale and lines, a hand-drawn ornamental roundel with a shelfmark, and a yellow and mauve floral tile-like pattern that a designer could borrow for a repeating motif.
