ELIZABETHAN NAVIGATIONAL CLOCK COMPENDIUM
收藏资源简介:
At the most general level, a compendium is simply an instrument made up of several disparate elements. An astronomical compendium is a mathematical instrument which has a range of astronomical functions incorporated into a single small device. As a catch-all term there is no standard list of functional elements, but sundials, compasses, calendars, maps, astrolabes, quadrants and various tables are often to be found. Neither is there a standard form for the resulting instrument; astronomical compendia are found in many shapes and formats, whether rectangular, circular, oval or octagonal, and are sometimes constructed to mimic other artefacts, such as books, with covers and leaves. Astronomical compendia seem to have been particularly favoured in the 16th century Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
从最广义的层面而言,综合仪器(compendium)本质上是由多种异质组件构成的器具。天文综合仪(astronomical compendium)是一类将多种天文功能集成于单一小型设备中的数学仪器。作为涵盖性术语,天文综合仪并无统一的功能组件清单,常见组成部分包含日晷、罗盘、日历、地图、星盘、象限仪以及各类数据表。此类仪器亦无统一的外观形制:天文综合仪的形态与规格多种多样,可呈矩形、圆形、椭圆形或八角形,部分仪器还会被设计为模仿书籍等其他人工制品的样式,带有封面与书页。天文综合仪在16世纪尤为盛行。数据来源:Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
