Acknowledgements
Alas, my Latin and Early Modern Castilian is non-existent, so many thanks to Penny Goodman and Paul White from Classics at Leeds and Simon Doubleday from Hofstra University for their translations. Likewise Mary, for providing the Krio and the recipes that inconvenienced the foxes. I need to thank Andy Ryan for behind-the-scenes help and Clive Hall for architectural advice, as well as Thom Hetherington for a guided tour of Glossop. Thank you to everyone at the Portico Library and the London Silver Vaults. And doubleplusgood thank you to everyone on Twitter who answered my numerous questions no matter how bizarre they were.
