I have ignored dialling - the art of making sun-dials.

Its literature is enormous, particularly in the eighteenth century.

It is a simple art, but the older books make it appear complicated.

Some small modern books have been written explaining the art simply

and clear and, in comparison with these, the older books

are without use or interest.
Granville Hugh Baillie

NOTE :

This Bibliographical Listing of Dialling References has been derived from the general unification of material from many sources, including computer files. The conversion of files via ASCII has caused some problems, particularly with accented letters. Also there are the difficulties of the language differences between the main contributors.

There may be some duplication of titles, this is inevitable when there are several categories into which these may be fitted. Occasionally there may be additional information appended in a duplicated entry. The authors have done their best to eliminate duplicate titles, but often works are included in older bibliographies which contain only part of the title. Rather than omit this information, the variations are listed. Apologies are offered where there is redundacy, the authors have tried to avoid it.

Some entries have explanatory notes and some details of the author. These are placed separately from the work itself, the author details being placed last of all. For those authors with multiples entries, these are placed in chronological order. In the case of magazines and bulletins, the entries are in chronological order, issue by issue. Because of lack of space and the increased cost, it has not been possible to list authors separately as well.

Comments and notification of errors which may be found should be reported to the authors so that these may be eliminated in a future edition.

A R.A. Maniére de décrire un cadran par deux points d’ombre pris à volonté, Paris, 1644

A W. Agreement between the Dean and Chapter of St Paul’s, London, and Walter the Orgoner, of Southwark, relating to a clock in St Paul’s Church. Dated November 22 1344. Archaeological Journal, 12: pp 173-7.

The interest in this document is that Walter is commissioned to make a new dial for the clock. A much fuller account, with the first accurate translation of the archaic French of the agreement, written on vellum, and now preserved in the British Library, is given in The Clock of Old St Paul’s London - Old Facts, New Views, by Charles K Aked, NAWCC Bulletin, Vol 29/3, pp 191-201, June 1987.

Paper read by Dr Archinard, Musée d'Histoire des Sciences Genève, at the Symposium held 21-22 June 1986 at Budapest for the 550th anniversary of Regiomontanus. The dial was first described by Regimontanus in his work Kalendarium, published about 1474. The paper considers that if Regiomontanus was not the inventor since the 'navicula de Venetiis', a rectilinear dial was already known; he was the populariser of this type. The Genevan museum possesses an example of a dial by Regiomontanus. Budapest 1986.
