Astronomical compendium for latitudes 39°-45° North (horizontal dial) and 0°-65° North (equinoctial dial). This compendium consists of three separate parts including a nocturnal and a perpetual almanac. The centre of the instrument carries the horizontal dials, while the nocturnal forms the lid. The simple theodolite and the equinoctial dial form the base of the compendium.
