The Power of Stars by Bryan E. Penprase

The sophisticated mathematics of the Arabic and European astronomers combined with their abilities in metalwork provided some of the world’s most beautiful sundials, which also came in portable varieties, used by aristocratic or royal personages, and in stationary sundials that graced palace gardens, public buildings, and courtyards. Many of these devices have stunning paintings and engravings and are works of art in their own right. However, even the most modern dials use the same basic technology as the much older Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Chinese counterparts and rely for their operations the eternal motion of our nearest star – the Sun.
