With eight tablets ; one made for the latitude of Morocco.

12 ASTROLABES to a very rare type of which, so far as we know, there are no other English examples out of Oxford and which may have been constructed for some member of the early School of Astronomy at Merton College. The chief peculiarity of the type consists in the absence of changeable tablets and of a raised rim round the base plate to contain tablets and rete. They are astrolabes without a mother, and they are combined with quadrants of large size.
