David's staff

释义

[David's staff
Originally an error of Pietro della Valle's, who gave Dauidstoff as the English name of an instrument for taking the altitude of the sun. This was reproduced by his translator, Havers, as David's Staff, which was copied by Blount and Phillips, and is repeated in some modern Dicts. So also David's quadrant (= back-staff) in Phillips (ed. 1696), corrected in Kersey's ed. (1706) to Davis's quadrant: see quadrant n.¹, quot. 1696.
