 | | As an historical example of a Capuchin dial, one made by Eise Eisinga, is shown in Figure 6. |
 | | In the drawing, Eisinga also made the "error Orontii," although he was aware of the correct construction, as can be seen on another page in his book. |
 | | Bulletin No. 47, July 1992, was a special issue about Eise Eisinga and his card dial, replete with other interesting information about Capuchin dials, including many related demonstrations, proofs and constructions - among them, that of the menaeus. |
