Two Unique Sundial Drawings From Vilnius

This article analyses two architectural drawings from 1942, likely academic work from the University of Vilnius. Although based on the octagonal Tower of the Winds in Athens, the designs delineate modern equal hours using noduses. They show detailed declining sundials for the location's latitude of 54°41′13ʺ, including declination lines for Zodiac signs.

Book Review

Review of "Katalog zegarów słonecznych" [A catalogue of sundials of the Przypkowski Museum in Jędrzejów, Poland], which lists the museum's complete collection of 378 sundials and related instruments. The collection began in the 19th century and was expanded by Feliks Przypkowski and later his son Tadeusz, who was a famous 20th-century Polish dialmaker.
