Provenance
The Gunther Collection, initially
deposited on loan in 1940 by the executors of R. T. Gunther
(1869-1940), the Museum's founding Curator, was a very
miscellaneous collection, and contained four astrolabes (one
of them added later). Unfortunately Gunther does not record
how he acquired this astrolabe. It is not included in his
book The Astrolabes of the World (1932).
