EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history - a portable sundial crafted by the skilled hands of Lienhart Miller in Nuremberg, Germany, back in 1614. The sundial, made from exquisite elephant ivory, is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Upon closer inspection, one can marvel at the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this timekeeping device. The sundial features not only a compass but also a wind rose and volvelle, which were used to calculate the positions of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, and stars. In an era where accurate timekeeping was crucial for navigation and scientific pursuits alike, this portable sundial served as an invaluable tool. Its compact size allowed it to be easily carried by explorers and astronomers during their expeditions. The photograph captures both the beauty of this historical artifact and its significance within the field of astronomy. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with measuring time and understanding our place within the cosmos. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to 17th-century Germany when Lienhart Miller meticulously carved each detail into this extraordinary piece. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our eternal quest for knowledge about our world beyond what meets the eye.
