Description

Miniature map from outside of hinged lid of Etzlaub's 1511 sundial. Size is 93x65 mm, orientation is "South-up", no longitudes are given. Latitudes printed in grey numbers (see right margin) were calculated by Krücken (2004, see "Source") for a Mercator projection of same area and prove that Etzlaub's approach was completely different.
These maps were designed to adjust sundials (called "Kompast" [sic!] in late medieval German) for user's latitude. Instructions were given by Etzlaub in Codex ad Compastum Norembergensem which was kept by Staatsbibliothek, Munich, Germany, but seems lost.
