Dear friends,today we are celebrating the birthday of
Petrus Apianus, alias Peter Bienewitz!
Peter Apian was probably born in April 16, 1495 in Leisnig.
One of his sundials can still be seen in Burg Trausnitz in Landshut, Germany. Another one at the south wall of St. Martin's church in Landshut might also be from him. His sundials are very well described in:Günther Knesch, Die Sonnenuhren von Sankt Martin, Landshut 1989; and
G. Knesch, C. G. Holtzhausen, LICHT UND ZEIT, Sonnenuhren in Landshut, Landshut 1990.A very beautiful catalogue-book, Peter Apian, edited by Karl Röttel, is still available:
2nd edition by Polygon-Verlag 1997, ISBN 3-928671-12-XKurt Scheuerer is providing excellent information with many interesting sub-links about Peter Apian! Please have a look at: http://www.bingo-ev.de/~ks451/ingolsta/api-01.htm
