Translated title of the contribution: Principles of Gnomonics in Juan de Arfe's Varia Commensuracion

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article delves into the prescriptions that the Renaissance goldsmith Juan de Arfe y Villafañe refers to on gnomonics in his treatise De Varia Commensuracion para la Sculptura y Architectura (Seville, 1585-1587). The indications and data referred to are examined in detail, as well as the details concerning the instruments for measuring time and the tables of latitudes that Arfe proposes. It also highlights the survival of this section in posterity, as it was enlarged, amended and published separately by various printers who considered this brief section of the Varia to be a unique contribution.
