    This celestial chart is similar in many ways to the pioneering works of


    Johannes Honter (also in this exhibition), but with the addition of a
    spectacular decorative border that includes inset portraits of six influential
    ancient philosophers: Ptolemy, Plato, Archimedes, Abu Ma'shar, Thales
    (identified as Milesius), and Euclid. Each philosopher is shown observing the
    stars while holding objects representative of his discipline. The border also
    contains numerous scientific instruments including an armillary sphere,
    sundials, quadrants, a cross staff, and a globe. The date and signature ("JA")
    are cleverly hidden on a pillar sundial on the lower left portion of the border.
