ALI, Aboul Hassan. Traité des instruments astronomiques des Arabes compose au treizieme siècle par Aboul Hassan Ali de Maroc. (Treatise of Arabic Astronomical Instruments composed by Aboul Hassan Ali of Morocco). This thirteenth century Arabic compilation of Islamic instruments was translated and edited by Jean-Jacques E Sedillot, briefly mentioned in Listing No 2. The mastery of the Arabs with gnomonics was largely unknown or ignored until this work appeared. Paris 1834.

ALINGHAM, William. Thesaurarium Mathematicae by John Taylor ... Enlarged by W.A. (Mathematical Treasury by John Taylor... Enlarged by William Alingham). London 1707.

The relevant part of this work is the section - "The Description and Use of Several Sorts of Mathematical Instruments", containing the sector, common sea-quadrant, forestaff, nocturnal, equinoctial dial, commonly called the ring-dial. William Alingham had a mathematical school for boys near the Rummer Tavern in Canon Row, London. He advertised "He likewise draweth any sort of Dial,...". He was invited to restore the elaborate sun dial in the Privy Garden at Whitehall, being offered £300 to restore it. His demand for £500 resulted in the matter being dropped and the dial decayed into ruin. He knew most of the practising instrument makers of the period.

ALLEN, Elias. Portrait of Elias Allen, apparently in his workshop, signed H van der Borcht pinxit, and 166 [0 or 5], W Hollar fec. It is a copper plate engraving printed on paper 270 x 165 mm [10½ x 6½ in].

At the base of the engraving is: ELIAS ALLEN/Apud Anglos Cantianus, iuxta Tunnbridge natus, Mathematicus/ Instrumentis aere incidentis sui temporis Artifex ingeniosissimus/ Obijt Londoni prope finem Mensis Martij, Anno Christ nato 1653 suaeque aetatis. Alas the artist has given Allen a very heavy and forbidding appearance but this cannot be correct since his premises was a centre for the meeting of other mathematical practitioners, and he was highly regarded as the most skilled of English practitioners, having twelve apprentices at a time.

ALLEXANDRE, Jacques. Traite gènèral des horloges. (General treatise of clocks).

One of many attempts to encompass the whole field of horology in the eighteenth century. The history of horology inevitably commences with time indicated by the shadows cast by the sun in the course of the day, most of what has been written merely being conjecture by modern minds upon ancient events, and usually stating that time was of little importance since there was no means of measuring small intervals of time accurately, an illogical conclusion. Pain cannot be measured directly but its importance is abundantly clear when one has an aching tooth. The interest in such general works is that sundials and mechanical clocks were not independent of each other until it was possible to distribute time signals by electrical methods to all parts of the country; and that the constant time rate of clocks causes great problems in adopting this constancy to the irregular rhythm of the solar cycle which dominates life on earth. Paris 1734. Pages 388 +8 plates.

ANGLICUS Robertus. De Astrolabii Canones. (Rules of the Astrolabe).

Folios 1 and 2 are shown in facsimile in Astrolabes of the World by Robert T Gunther, 1932, together with the rules transcribed into modern text, and a list of the contents of the following folios 27-42 [in Latin] concerning the arrangement of the astrolabe. A pity no English rendering was given but many were taught Latin at the time the book was published, and readers were expected to be familiar with French, German, Greek and Latin texts. First printed at Cologne 1478. It was printed two years later at Perugia, Italy, when for some reason it was placed in the Index Librorum Prohibitorum [Index of Probihited Books], however further editions appeared in Augsburg 1490, Venice 1502, 1512, 1528, and finally at Salamanca in 1554, the last two editions being compiled by Joannes de Aquilera.
