< b>In a brisk, richly detailed medieval Strassburg, a book of passion, talent, and time unfolds.
Mary C. Rowsell’s The Silver Dial follows Conrad Dasipodius, a gifted young mathematician and horologist, as he forges ahead under the watchful eyes of his father and a devoted monk mentor. The story intertwines technical curiosity with family duty, love, and loss, set against a city pulsing with religious, political, and cultural tension. The narrative threads together craft, art, and the slow, patient work of building a remarkable horologic work that could change lives.
Across courtly rooms and cathedral walls, the characters carve out loyalties and confront tough choices. Radegund von Steinbach, a sharp artist with a network of influence, navigates power and persuasion alongside Bishop John of Manderscheid, a humane but burdened ruler in trying times. The plot moves through ambition, devotion, and the quiet courage that sustains people when the world around them is unsettled.
- Follow a lineage of teachers and students as they chase precision, invention, and beauty in clockwork and painting.
- Experience a vivid city full of art, faith, and the everyday challenges of life in a changing era.
- Meet strong, resourceful characters who balance duty, love, and personal ambition without losing their humanity.
- See how craftsmanship and imagination can illuminate both a community and a life’s work.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction with a strong sense of place, intricate character dynamics, and a celebration of invention and art.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Conrad Dasipodius, a young mathematician whose greatest desire is to make a name for himself as a master horologist. Set in 15th century Strassburg, the story unfolds against a backdrop of his cityâs ambitious plan to build a spectacular astronomical clock to replace their aging and unreliable timepiece. The tale is set within the broader context of the great technological strides being made in the science of mechanics during that period, and Strassburgâs determination to be at the forefront of innovation. The author presents a rich exploration of the themes of ambition, perseverance and unrequited love, as Conrad's quest to build the clock intertwines with a forbidden romance with Sabina, the daughter of the wealthy Burgomaster. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating insight into the world of medieval science and the sacrifices individuals make in the name of innovation.
