"Epact is an electronic catalogue of medieval and renaissance scientific instruments from four European museums: the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford, the Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza, Florence, the British Museum, London, and the Museum Boerhaave, Leiden. Together, these museums house the finest collections of early scientific instruments in the world."
John Atkinson gave me a lavishly illustrated book about early scientific instruments one Christmas. I gaze at it for hours on end—as I will now do with Epact.
