I was thinking of reading the castle of knowledge, but already looking at the illustrated frontpage i feel a bit confused.

I know of the spear of longinus, but what is the sphere of detunye "sphere of destiny?" never heard of it.
The man Robert Recorde really a riddler?
I can see the wheel of fortuna somehow hints at torque, and i am not sure what the actual belt in the sphere of destiny supposed to be is it axial tilt and the 26 000 year wobble?
And i am also a bit baffeled by the side quotes of the illustration.
"Whole governor is knowledge"
"Whole ruler is ignorance"
I got the impression that the author try to convey some sort of message, but maybe there is no message and i just try to hard.
Someone who actually read it and understood what the author try to convey?
I must say i find the symbolic illustration intruiging the only thing i could think of was "ignorance is bless".
At least he seem to put the two things at equal foot in the illustration.
