Hi Bob
An amazing piece. It's indeed addictive... This old style is very difficult to read.
While looking-up some old Dutch words I encountered the following links with the same text, but type-written:
https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/wagh001spie01_01/index.php
https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/wagh001spie01_01/wagh001spie01_01.pdf
It is easier to read (...) and to decipher. Unfortunately the page nrs are not in sync.
Although I am not familiar with the use of the various forms of an astrolabe, I guess that p23 gives a description of an astrolabe. Maybe somebody else can help with this.
Regards,
Huub
