A Table of Refractions is included, with an Equation of Time added for setting clocks, plus a section on dialling.

A Short Treatise of Dialling. This is a dialling work in the accepted presentation of the early seventeenth century. London 1614. Edward Wright (1558-1615) was a Fellow of Caius College, Cambridge, invited by the Earl of Cumberland to use his mathematical skills to make navigation easier for seamen. He also gave mathematical inst ruction to Prince Henry [of Portugal], who intended that Wright should be his librarian, but died before giving him the post. Wright died in comparative poverty at the age of 57, a table of logarithms of his being completed by Henry Briggs and published in 1616. WRIGHT, Edward. The Description and Use of the Sphaere.

This work resulted from the chance bringing of the fragments of a Byzantine sundial-calendar to the Science Museum by a visitor in 1983. It was identified by the name 'Constantinople', introduced in AD 328, on the largest fragment. Further tests show the instrument was very likely made between AD 480 and AD 560, either in or just before the reign of the Emperor Justinian I. London 1985. WRIGHT, M T. and FIELD J V. Gears from the Byzantines: A Portable Sundial with Calendrical Gearing. A prior publication of the material indicated in the next entry but on a more technical level.

WYBARD, John. Horologiographia Nocturna: Lunar Horologiographie. (Nocturnal Horography: Lunar Horography). With the aid of Ephemerides Tables, it was possible to make use of a sundial to indicate the time by the light of the moon. This was more of a mathematical exercise than a practical one. 1639. John Wybard was primarily a doctor who worked from about 1630 until 1674, who had a variety of interests, one in particular was lunar horology. He devised a most ingenious method of measuring irregular areas by drawing these on thick paper or card, and then weighing these. The amount divided by a known area of unit weight gave the required answer. WYCK, H W v d. Algemeen. Zonnewijzerkring 84.2, pp 201-202. WYCK, H W v d.
