The Orcagna scrying engine in operation, downloading Abū Sahl al-Qūhī's Perfect Compass protocol.

The Orcagna scrying engine is a well-known scrying engine built into the statue of Andrea Orcagna at Uffizi in Florence.

On November 16, 1838, the Orcagna scrying engine, under contract to House of Malevecchio, downloaded Abū Sahl al-Qūhī's Perfect Compass protocol, translating the protocol into Italian for the first time. Malevecchio attempted to monopolize the protocol, but five years later the French announced Compas Parfait; within fifty years, all of Christendom had similar systems.
