My paper sundial can't match the elegance of this brass capuchin #sundial, with the profile of a monk with a pointy hood ; the hour lines are contained inside his hood. Dated 1620. 10cm x 6.6cm.

New version of my 'Capuchin' paper #sundial

More detailed calendar, declination scale, meridian elevation scale.

This altitude sundial dates back from the 16th c. Can be printed on book-sized paper. Add a weighted thread with a bead.
On my website you can find the printout for integer latitudes (41 to 52°N), and a user guide in french.
