Hi Gert, I am not sure why everyone thinks a camera obscura is necessary to copy this design, my tool of preference would be a compass. Is it just to explain the mirror image? A camera obscura would have been more useful to copy the Oresme design, but which obviously was not employed.

It doesn't seem like it was employed for the spiral part either. Seems more freehand to me, except for the actual circles.
