Quadrans Muralis, the Mural Quadrant, between the right foot of Hercules, the left hand of Boötes, and the constellation Draco, was formed by La Lande in 1795, as a souvenir of the instrument with which he and his nephew, Michel Le Français, observed the stars subsequently incorporated under this title into the latter’s Histoire Celeste Française.
It is the Mauer Quadrant of Stieler’s Planisphere, and the Quadrante of the Italians, but is not figured by Argelander or Heis, nor recognized by modern astronomers. [3]
