Index Sciathericus is an index of articles about sundials and dialing, as published in The Compendium, journal of the North American Sundial Society (and, I hope, others to come). For a thorough search of peer-reviewed journals and other recognized sources of scholarly literature, try also Google Scholar or Microsoft Academic; for general material and web pages, use your favorite search engine.
In most cases, Index Sciathericus does not offer online access to the articles themselves. A clickable 🔗 icon is used if the article is available on another website (access may require a subscription.) If no link is given, try contacting the publisher to purchase the article.
The only thing sent to the server when you use this page is your search request. Neither Index Sciathericus nor Steve Lelievre's website, www.gnomoni.ca, gather information about your visits or activity on the site.
