One of twelve volvelles in Trithemius, Polygraphie, 1561. The title written on the fore-edge of this book suggests that it belonged to John Dee. It’s a book about cryptography, and the volvelles are cipher discs used to encoding or decoding text.
The RCP library has the largest known collection of books from John Dee’s library, going on display from January 2016.
Reading Goal - Read about people whose stories inspire my own.

Welcome to Cat’s Cafe! Grab a seat and relax. This comic is little experimental. I wanted to create an experience where you could share your thoughts with Cat in the safe setting of this comic/cafe. Cat’s there to listen!
Please let me know your thoughts if you enjoyed the idea of this comic! Might try another where you get to ‘talk’ with Rabbit.
Thanks for reading! :)
I’m sooooo interested to see what people who have not read the books will say about what’s to happen next in the “Outlander” tv series. It’s been so hunky-dory up until what’s about to happen next...
