- For an in-depth biography of Hartmann, see Klemm Hans Gunther Georg Hartmann aus Eggolsheim (1489–1564): Leben und Werk eines fränkischen Mathematiker und Ingenieurs 1990 Wissenschaftliche und künsterlische Beiträge, Ehrenburg-Gymnasium Forscheim, Heft 8 (Forscheim inside cover. This is an excellent booklet about Hartmann, his life, his work, and the people he knew. It was written for the 500th anniversary of the birth of Hartmann, and contains a list of his instruments and their present location.

- There is at least one example of Hartmann using a 49° plate on an earlier astrolabe. See Gunther The Astrolabes of the World Oxford 1932 436 436 2 vols a 1527 astrolabe, IC258, has a plate for ‘45° & 49° (Nuremberg)’. Gunther is more exact in his Early Science in Oxford, 14 vols (Oxford, 1923–45), II (1923), 215; the plate is inscribed: ‘LATI, XLIX M, XXVII’, (i.e. 49° 27′).
