A manuscript copy of a paper on sundials given in 1772 by Pietro Borrani at the literary Accademia degli Infecondi in Prato: the ‘dial of Ahaz’ is perhaps the earliest name given to a sundial, found in the Old Testament. Variance from the text published in 1773 suggests the present manuscript is an early copy of the paper given the year before.
