Sciothericum Telescopicum is a book written by William Molyneux in 1686. The book details a new invention that Molyneux created called the telescopic horizontal dial. This device allows for the accurate measurement of time by using a telescope and a horizontal dial. Molyneux explains the mechanics and design of the device in great detail, including the materials used and the steps needed to create it. He also provides instructions on how to use the device to accurately measure the time of day or night. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of timekeeping or the development of scientific instruments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
