Galgemair "published a number of works on mathematical instruments. One of Galgemair’s first efforts was to reprint this description of Peter Apian’s universal instrument (first published by Phillip Apian in his 1580 work, Astrolabii). The instrument, which is useful for various kinds of astronomical sightings, is very similar to one that appears as a volvelle in 1564 edition of Peter Apian’s Cosmographia. A large folding diagram of the instrument is included in this issue" (Tomash & Williams).
