Very scarce Provenance: The front pastedown features typed notes recording the book's passage through the family from Dr. Edward Swinfen (1742-1801) of Long Buckby, Northamptonshire. Armorial bookplate for Edward Swinfen Harris. Bibliographical notes pasted to front free endpaper "The Castle of Knowledge is special for three reasons: for one, it is the oldest surviving original English astronomy book, not merely a translation or abstract of Latin medieval or classical works. Secondly, it is simultaneously one of the first English books on astronomy that mentions and comments on Copernicus’ De revolutionibus orbium caelestium (1543) and the heliocentric system presented therein. Thirdly, and perhaps even more relevant in the context of this study, Recorde not only refers to Plato, but directly to Proclus on several occasions, so we know for a fact that he had immediate access to Neoplatonic source material."

Unfortunately my granddaughter who is now 11 and loves Harry Potter, damaged this particular book when she was a toddler.'

Despite the often gigantic scale on which he works, the essence of his practice remains surprisingly intimate. The larger-than-life stereotypes that fill Rhoades's work fade into their real role. They are merely vehicles that get the artist and his audience to somewhere else. In the end the smoke and mirrors of explanation with which Rhoades both illuminates and obfuscates his work act like the mile of string that Duchamp wound around the space of the 'First Papers of Surrealism' exhibition in 1942, a simultaneously translucent yet impenetrable medium within which floats the real content of the work."
