Extract

In his paper ‘Two Mariner's Astrolabes’ (Journal, 9, 338) Dr. D. J. Price stated that hitherto only seven mariner's astrolabes had been found and the details published. He then described two more mariner's astrolabes, the Dundee astrolabe of 1555, discovered some months previously, and the Kronborg astrolabe of 1600, discovered in 1928.
