Linnard, William - Robey, John A., "Three medieval clockmakers: children of Mercury", Antiquarian Horology, 40/2 (2019), 102-108.

Resum: Three planet-books produced in the third quarter of the fifteenth century contain images of a clockmaker attending to a clock. These all appear as miniatures in astrological illustrations showing Mercury and his ‘children' and were produced in three different countries: Italy, the Netherlands and England. The links between the three images are traced, and the three clocks are described in detail. It should be noted that any text in the planet-books relates to astrology, not to the individual trades depicted.
