Conférence L’astrolabe et l’astronomie

Description

Lecture by Brigitte Alix, astrolabe specialist and manufacturer. The astrolabe is an ancient instrument for measuring the position of the stars. Invented in Antiquity, it was perfected by the Arabs and introduced to the West around the year 1000. An astrolabe enthusiast, Brigitte Alix has made a profession out of it: using astrolabes of her own making, she explains the origins and uses of this marvellous instrument. * Reservations required * - As part of the Val de Sully cultural season -
