Astrolabe
Hi Ya'll
Just to let you know there is a 4 Cm. Nautical Astrolabe available this week on Ebay at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE%3AIT&rd=1 There are no bids yet but there are 2 watchers. This Beautifully crafted Astrolabe is working models of a 16th C. Nautical Astrolabe that was in common use by navigators sailing from Spain to the New World. The Astrolabe was widely used throughout Europe in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, peaking in popularity in the 15th and 16th C. Knowledge of astronomy was considered fundimental and use of an Astrolabe was considered a sign of good breeding and education. This Astrolabe would make an exciting gift for a Sailor, Navigator or anyone interested in Scientific History ! Dimensions: Diameter 4.3cm. Construction: Brass |
