The second part sheweth how to place all manner of furniture on all sorts of dyals, let them be never so irregular, and that arithmetically; whereunto is annexed the tables of the altitude of the sun for every hour of the day at his entrance into the 12 signs from one degree of latitude to 90; with tables of azimuth to each latitude, and for every hour of the day at his entrance into each sign, with many other tables useful in the art of shadows.
