Dear Willy Leenders,
may I recommend besides all the brilliant answers you will get now from others Johann Wolfgang von Goethes brilliant essays about italic hours, - the one published in 1788 in Der Teutsche Merkur vom Jahre 1788 - and the second one including fine drawings published in Die Italiänische Reise. I have written an article about Goethes essay in Der Teutsche Merkur in DGC-Mitteilungen Nr. 108 (Winter 2006) which is still available for free download at HYPERLINK "http://www.dg-chrono.de/"www.dg-chrono.de . About Goethes second essay I will publish an article in DGC-Mitteilungen Nr. 111 (Autumn 2007). Best regards, Reinhold Kriegler * ** *** **** ***** ****** ******* Reinhold R.

Mai 2007 12:36 An: sundial List Betreff: Italian hours Italian hours are counted from sunset. One has to take its complement from 24 to know the time left until suntime. Why sundials with Italian hours do'nt indicate directly the result of this calculation? Is there a practical or historical reason?
