Menu 386 of 520 Previousnext FirstLast Sorted by: Instrument type Maker Place Date Overview Details				Catalogue Nocturnal And Sundial Signed by Ulrich Schniep Dated 1581; Munich Gilt brass; 132 mm in diameter This instrument is remarkably close to an instrument by Caspar Vopel dated 1557, which is also in the collection of the Museum of the History of Science (Epact 97152). There are some differences, but the similarity extends to most of the detail. It has been suggested that the instrument by Schniep is a copy of that by Vopel, but both could, of course, have been copied from some other source.
