Re: Firenze clock
I wish to do my thanks to Frank King for writing my paper about the Italian Hours in the clocks. I was the first author, on 1990, to show the real secret of the mechanical clock with only I- and/or I-IV roman numeration of hours. The quadrant of Paolo Uccello in Firenze is the origin of this method. It shown the first mechanical clocks for the italian hours with a inverse numeration from 1 to 24. Thankf to Frsnk for remember my paper and my web page about this.

A number survive in Italy mostly in the Rome area. What I write now should not be taken as wholly reliable! Napoleon wanted French time everywhere of course and most Italian hours clocks were changed during his era. Papal influence in the Rome area meant that a few Italian hours clocks escaped Napoleon's attention! The date given for the Paolo Uccello clock is 1443 and you can be fairly sure that such a clock would be a very poor timekeeper compared with clocks today. The typical daily error would greatly exceed the difference in time of sunset from one day to the next so there would be no need for any special mechanism. Clocks of that period would have to be reset frequently, using a sundial of course, and you could choose to set it to Italian hours or French hours as you wished. Of course, the clock weights were probably wound daily anyway (and in early clocks the winding process stopped power to the clock thereby contributing further to the errors) so the added task of resetting the clock was hardly a great one. As clock time-keeping improved, the daily error reduced and, by the Napoleonic era, the effort of resetting an Italian hours clock daily would have started to seem a little irksome. I believe some of these later clocks (18th century) did have special mechanisms but they were pretty crude. I can imagine clock-keepers being quite grateful to Napoleon! There is an interesting paper by Nicola Severino on Italian hours clocks: `Le Ore Italiche... Perdute!' Also, have a look at his web page... http://www.nicolaseverino.it/orologio%20italiano.htm You will some pictures of Italian hours clocks (I took a couple of them myself). The majority of these clocks have dials running I, II, III, , V and VI. The single hand turns about four times a day if you are lucky. I don't know of ANY that remotely keep to Italian hours time today and most are in a very poor state of preservation. Frank H. King Cambridge, U.K. - -
Re: The sundial of Emperor Augustus - english translation
Dear Frans and All, thanks for you answer. I know that the language is a great problem for the full knowledgment of our arguments. Like you, I have great difficulty to read long paper written in english or other language. I am sorry also for this message I am writing in my bad english... In relation to Augustus sundial, I believe a foundamental point: at today and in order at all historical and archaeological informations we have about the Augustus Sundial, we are not able (or we cannot to do) to be sure on the real design of this sundial. Kircher and more other ancient authors written it is a great and complete sundials. Buchner have found only a meridian line, but with more references on calendarial things. Today is impossible a mmaninary vision of a complete sundial with this enourmus dimensions, but a time of Augustus Rome have a more space structure and a great sundial like this can be possible. A question more important is the ubication of meridian line with the equinoctial line directed to Ara Pacis. It is not a case the posizion of Ara Pacis and i not believe Augustus building onlu a meridian line for his megalomania dreams. But I was very surprised to see missing my book, in which I written the history of this subject, the relations about calculations of high of obelisk, the position, the analysis of words from several manuscripts (who is Facundi Novus?), probably him not exist But, I am sorry because I have see that most more italian gnomonica pubblications is not in consideration from the gnomonic world people which not read the italian. Also my friend and phisician Edmondo Marianeschi have published many time ago a important article about this subject in the memories of Italian Gnomonic meeting, but also this work is missing in your bibliography. Patience...hope the gnomonic will be able, a day, to meet toghether all people and all language... The best wishes Nicola Severino - Original Message - From: Frans W. Maes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: nicola severino [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Sundial List sundial@rrz.uni-koeln.de Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 8:57 AM Subject: Re: The sundial of Emperor Augustus - english translation Dear Nicola and all, Thanks to Jack Aubert I can respond to your posting. I often regret being unable to read Italian or Spanish, as so many important gnomonic publications appear in these languages! The primary aim of my article on the sundial of emperor Augustus was to bring the important paper by Michael Schütz (published in 1990) to the attention of the gnomonic community. In addition, I reviewed the further goings of Buchners story. Around 1980, prof. Edmund Buchner excavated part of a meridian line constructed a century after Augustus erected an Egyptian obelisk in the Mars Field in Rome. He hypothesized that Augustus constructed a huge sundial and argued that a centimeter-precise topographical relationship existed between the sundial and the nearby Ara Pacis (peace altar). Schütz showed that Buchners assumptions on the height of the obelisk were mostly unjustified and that his calculations of the position of the obelisk and the sundial layout were incorrect. Schütz' paper (in German) apparently was unknown in gnomonics, so that Buchners speculative hypothesis was considered a proven fact. The only author who knew Schütz article (and agreed) was Karlheinz Schaldach. The bird's eye perspective argument comes from his book on Roman sundials. Schütz is is also missing from the bibliography in your 1997 article (which I downloaded but unfortunately cannot read). When I contacted you last November to get your opinion on Schütz' criticism, I was very sorry that the language problem prevented a fruitful communication. Still, I am looking forward to your evaluation of Schütz' - in my view convincing - arguments. Best regards, Frans Maes - -
The sundial of Emperor Augustus - english translation
Dear Friends,
I send this translation of my
message about the Augustus sundial article of Maes. Hope it is now more easy to
read.
transalation by Jeck Aubert.
Thanks to Jack and thanks to your all.
Nicola
Severino
Translation:
In paying my compliments to
Frans W Maes for the full and interesting article titled "The Sundail of Emperor
Augustus: Rise and Decline of a Hypothesis" appearing in the NASS publication
Compendium Volume 12, n. 3 of Septembner 2005, I would like to express my
opinion and comment on this investigation.
The article appears to be very
complete, a full 15 pages out of the total 40 pages of the review. It is
rich from the point of view of historical and documentary research and suggests
a number of hypotheses and conclusions. First, I would like to note that I
am not completely convinced that the oblelisk of Caesar Augustus in the Field of
Mars, today visible in the Plaza Montecitorio, really represented in its time
the upright gnomon of a complete monumental sundial. The trace
of a sundial of these dimensions, in effect, would not provide an effective
display of time from the point of view of a human being who passed by but rather
would have to haave been "read" from the perspective of a bird skimming above it
at a certain height. ("so large that the time would only have been
readable from a bird's eye perspective" according to the Maes
article.).
Nobody however, has been able
to demonstrate the contrary, that is to say that the Emperor Augustus had wanted
to build a sundial of these demensions because it could be read not from the
site but from the many nearby hills of Rome. Certainly this
is a hypothesis of suggestive of what a megalomaniac like he might have
wanted. I do not understand why the article uses the title "decline
of a hypothesis" when this conlusion is not supported by incontrovertable proof
that might lead to such an affirmation.
There is a consideration of
Girolamo Fantoni in his article "The meridian of Augustus" in Clocks, the
measure of time, Technimedia, Rome, n. 10, 1988 page 107 where he says: "In
effect, it is very probable that the layout of the sundial of Augustus was such
that the shadow of the ball that surmounted the obelisk, which symbolized
August, the Sun Apollo, touched the Alter of Peace at a given moment to confirm
that Aubusuts was born for peace. In fact, these altars [?] designated the
equinoctal line that coincided with the date of birth of the emperor, September
23. Furthermore, the axis traced from the obelisk to the alter of peace
made a right angle with that of the obelisk of the mausoleum of Augustus.
" Fantoni, in turn, took his point of departure from Dosi-Schnell in Space
and Time, editions Quasar, Rome 1992. This perfect coincedence of
topography of the Field of Mars is called into question by Maes only as the
forth conclusion at the end of the article, but on the basis of what? The
hypothesis of Fantoni seems to me much more
probable.
The fans of Athanasius Kircher,
who was not at all bad as a gnomonist... can follow his alternative hypothesis
that the sundial of Augustus was not only a meridian line but actually traced
out a sundial complete with declination curves, etc. The fact that these
cannot be found because it is impossible to excavate the subsoil of modern Rome
for such an investigation (except for the unique and fortuitous discovery of
Buchner), does not seem to allow the preponderance of weight to lead to either
one or the other of the hypotheses.
The historical documentation is
not sufficiently clear and complete to draw definitive
conclusions.
Finally, I am once more
disturbed by the evidence that Italian research and publication always seems to
be in last place in the international panorama, and it seems to me indeed
strange that such a carefully reseached documentary investigation missed the
unique work in the Italian language, and in the world that deals in depth with
the history of this obelisk, that is to say, my book "History of the Obelisk and
Sundial of Caesar Augustus in the Field of Mars." written in 1996 and published
in 1997 which consists of 69 pages and in which I analyze for the first time the
history of this obelisk-dial through the most important documents published at
that point, and where for the first time was presented an analysis of historic
texts through some coded manuscripts of Salmasio and
Rezzonici. This, despite the fact that my book is
mentioned on all my gnonomic web sites, (freely downloadable as of a few days
ago) and on my CD-Rom "Opera Omnia" of which to my great surprise there is no
trace to be found in either the article nor the bibliograpby of Maes.

I think to finish it in a couple of days.I am receiving a lot of requests from many gnomonic people from this list and from friends. Thanks to all for this effort. I wish write some information about my CD.The CD-R "De Monumentis Gnomonicis apud Graecos et Romanos" is in italian language only. The CD run for a Microsoft Windows system like a "Explorer" file browse.

It is only for a nice satisfaction for me to divulg this, because (like you all) I love the gnomonica searchs and I do this not for some profit.The technical informations about CD you can read from past message from Fred Sawyer.I have encloused in my CD only two sites from Greace: Delos and tenos because only sundials from this sites I was able to found in the gnomonic documents.I visited my self the archaeological sites and the sundials from:Rome, Pompei, ErcolanoTha CD-R contain a lot of nice images I done in digital quality. You can see the more beautifull images of roman sundials ever seen in the world!Besides, you can read a lot od rare ancient historical documents about this topic, from Woepcke to Deonna.I was in contact with Sharon Gibbs. She was very surprised, glad and satisfacted of my searchs about this topic and I have had the persime to use much material from his book.

Infine, vi ricordo che la rivista farà il suo ingresso in tipografia sicuramente dal numero 4 (settembre 1999) in poi. Per l'imminente numero 3 non so se si farà in tempo, ci stiamo provando... Potrebbe essere causa di un ritardo, stavolta però ben giustificato! NOTA INFORMATIVA SULLE PRIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI DI ABBONAMENTO ALLA RIVISTA GNOMONICA, ORGANO UFFICIALE DELLA SEZIONE QUADRANTI SOLARI DELL'UNIONE ASTROFILI ITALIANI. Cari amici, Sono lieto di farvi conoscere le condizioni proposte dalla Sezione Quadranti Solari dell'UAI relative alle modalità di abbonamento alla rivista Gnomonica. 1) La rivista Gnomonica viene spedita gratuitamente a tutti i soci UAI che desiderano riceverla, non come supplemento di Astronomia, ma come spedizione postale separata; inoltre, su Astronomia, e sul n. 3 di Gnomonica, viene proposto il pacchetto gnomonico e cioè l'iscrizione all'UAI comporta il ricevimento della rivista Astronomia + Almanacco Astronomico UAI + Gnomonica + iscrizione gratuita al Seminario + Atti gratuiti del Seminario. La quota sociale per l'iscrizione all'UAI è di lire 60.000 da versare come indicato al punto 2) specificando chiaramente nella causale ABBONAMENTO A GNOMONICA + PACCHETTO GNOMONICO 2) Ai non soci UAI la rivista viene offerta a un costo di abbonamento annuale (tre numeri) di 20 000 lire, che devono essere versate sul CCP dell'UAI, N° 11531357 intestato a Unione Astrofili Italiani, Vic. Osservatorio, 5 - 35122 Padova, specificando chiaramente il proprio indirizzo e la causale. 3) Coloro che hanno già versato le quote di abbonamento in precedenza, saranno considerati abbonati a Gnomonica fino alla pubblicazione del n° 3 (compreso). E dovranno rinnovare l'abbonamento dopo la pubblicazione del n° 3 (maggio 1999) che sarà valido da Settembre-99, Maggio-2000. ++ Testo approvato da Gabriele Vanin, presidente dell'UAI, il 19 aprile 1999. Personalmente posso solo dire: a voi la scelta, ed aggiungere che a mio parere il pacchetto gnomonico è di gran lunga la migliore offerta gnomonica non solo in Italia, ma anche rispetto a ciò che offrono tutte le altre associazioni gnomoniche straniere.
