"Many of us, at some point in our lifetime, have had the chance to observe the 'globes' made of wood and covered in paper or those even engraved in brass. These objects can only amaze the observer because of their beauty and refinement. The 'armi1lary spheres' are also of remarkable beauty. They are so called because of the 'armi1las' or armlets that characterize them and that represent the skies surrounding the Earth and Sun, according to the Ptolemic-Aristotelian theory (heliocentric). This work is dated 1843 from a project by Cassini."
