Many edtions of this text in many languages exist. Quote:[as per Baillie] A wonderfull invention is that of clocks withj several wheels with a bell ... not only do they show the hours but also the quarters and the minutes. The marvel is increased by their convienience, because they are made in such a form that they can be kept in a room and carried about; many wake us up at whatever hour we wish; others show the waxing and waining of the moon and the movements of the sun in the zodiac, while figures and animales are moved in various ways.
