Publishers, 1984), pp.30-31 and 277-279.

(London: Zwemmer, 1993) (esp. pp. 168-169 for the coordinate systems)
 
- Globi Neerlandici: The production of globes in the Netherlands / Peter van
der Krogt (Utrecht: HES Publishers, 1993).
 
and in the english language articles in the issues of 'Der Globusfreund',

Instrumentenkunde in Vienna, esp.
