Scientific paper

The author investigates the merits and limitations of the armillary astrolabe, which served for direct observations of the ecliptic longitudes and latitudes of the heavenly bodies from Antiquity to the end of the sixteenth century. Observations made with a modern replica of the instrument are compared with historical astrolabic observations as reported by Ptolemy in the Almagest and with measurements made in 1503-4 by Bernard Walther in Nuremberg.
