Ms Lat 696 W.8.20 fol.1r Sundial calendar, from 'Liber Physiognomiae', c.1440 (vellum)
A manuscript, sun dial and volvelle, all in one! The original book is 14th century but these images are from the first 1440 printed version.
The manuscript is at the Estense Library in Modena. Scans can be downloaded here:

The book was likely produced for the Dukes of Ferrara (the D'Este family) in the first half of the XV Century. The author of the text is unknown. This paper (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) attributes it to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., a humanist at the court of Niccolò III d'Este.
The images appear to be from a modern facsimile of the manuscript.
