Lacaille’s Horologium


Lacaille showed Horologium under the name l’Horloge on his original 1756 planisphere. The name was Latinized as Horologium on the second edition of 1763. This illustration comes from a copy of his original planisphere published in the Atlas Céleste of Jean Fortin. (Image © Ian Ridpath.)
