A medieval astrolabe in the tradition of Jean Fusoris / Fausto Casi.
Abstract:
The discovery of a medieval astrolabe attributed to the workshop of Jean Fusoris has offered the opportunity to re-examine the history of this instrument in Western countries and, consequently, the figure of the man who first organised its production in France, and finally look into the details of this ancient instrument. On the suggestion of Emmanuel Poulle, top authority on astrolabes, the latter's studies published in 1963 have been consequently updated, to arrive at a broader knowledge of the instruments made by Jean Fusoris
