Wyberd 1636: an almanacke and prognostication with the forraine raine [sic] computation, serving for the yeare of our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ, 1636, being bissextile or leape yeare : collected, composed and especially referred to the meridian and inclination of the most honourable city of London, whose graduation is for latitude 51 degrees 34 minutes, longitude 25 degrees 50 minutes, and may serue (without sensible errour) any part of this kingdome, in which you may behold the state and disposition of the whole yeare1636
Synopsis anni Christi 1637: Sivè diarium astronomicum, prognosticon astrologicum, & meteorologicum, ad annum primum ab intercalari. 1637. Contriving, besides the generall state of the yeare, the daily disposition and inclination of the aire, according to the severall positions and configurations of the celestiall bodies. Also the times of coniunctions, greater and lesse; and aspects lunar and mutuall. Faithfully supputated according to art, for the use of those that are residing towards the end of the 8 climate of the world, situate in the North-temperate zone: the pole artique surmounting the horizon 51 degrees 34 minutes. Per Ioannem Wyberdum, philophysicum, astronomophilon.1637
Horologiographia nocturna. Or Lunar horologiographie: Set forth and demonstrated (after a twofold manner) in the horizontall plane onely. Vpon which (and all other by the same reason) may in a manner, as plainely and speedily bee discerned the times of the night by the gnomonicall shadow, caused by the moone, as the times of the day upon any by the sun: serving as well in the day time for the sunne. By Iohn Wyberd. Together with an addition of certaine new and briefe rules for the exact and most speedy mensuration of circles and spheres, and also cylinders, both in solid and liquid measure, by certaine plaine scales onely, not heretofore published, but now set forth for the benefit of all those that have occasion to make use of such things.1639
Tactometria. Seu, Tetagmenometria. Or, The geometry of regulars practically proposed: after a new, most artificial, exact and expeditious manner (together with the natural or vulgar, by way of mensurall comparison) and in the solids, not only in respect of magnitude or dimension, but also of gravity of ponderosity, according to any metal assigned. ... And withall, the like artificial practical geometry of regular-like solids (as I term them) in both the foresaid respects: and moreover, of a cylindricall body, for liquid or vessell-measure (commonly called by the name of gauging) as is for solid measure; ... And lastly, an A-tactometrie, or an appendix, for the most ready and exact discovering of the dimensionall quantity of any irregular kind of body, ... A work very usefull and delightfull for all such as are either ingenuously studious of, or necessarily exercised and employed in the practice of the art metricall. By J.W1650
