Abstract
Abstract
Examples are given of how old instruments were recycled in the Early-Modern period in consequence of the difficulty and cost of obtaining brass suitable for instrument-making. Details of this practice are illustrated from two astrolabes by Jean Fusoris, one of which, described here, is a new addition to the corpus of his work.
