Epact Scientific Instruments of Medieval and Renaissance Europe


	French

French instruments mainly reduce to those from Paris so far as commercial instrument making is concerned in the medieval and renaissance period, but the location of mathematical clerics in religious foundations elsewhere occasionally introduces the names of other places, such as Lyons.
