"The astrolab is a very ancient astronomical computer for solving problems relating to time
and the position of the Sun and stars in the sky. . . they were also one of the basic
astronomy education tools in the late Middle Ages. A typical old astrolab was made of brass
and was about 6" (15 cm) in diameter. The history of the astrolab begins more than two
thousand years ago; the principles of the astrolab projection were known before 150 B.C.,
& true astrolabs were made before A.D. 400. It was highly developed in the Islamic world by
800, and was introduced to Europe from Islamic Spain (Andalusia) in the early 12th century.
It was the most popular astronomical instrument until about 1650, when it was replaced
by more specialized and accurate instruments." - http://astrolabes.org/
