The Astronomical Observatories of Jai Singh c6.25

c6.25

Of these it is possible that all except ‘C’ belonged to Jai Singh and it is pretty certain that a number of his instruments have been lost (e.g., see page 31). The most important are A and B (which, for convenience, I term ‘Jaipur A’ and ‘Jaipur B’) and the Zarqālī instrument E. ‘Jaipur A’ and ‘Jaipur B’ are of extremely fine workmanship, while E is an interesting example of a type hitherto seldom described in detail in European works.
