		David comments: “Blagrave's astrolabe is one of the all-time great scientific instruments, often referred to and discussed in dialist circles, so to discover from my father that he was family and was born in Sonning, under 10 miles from my workshop, was astonishing.”

	OU History of Science
		By mid-century, England had established a distinctive textbook tradition, with some works in the vernacular, and was capable of producing figures like John Dee and Thomas Digges, important scientists in their own day although they have not been fitted into the overarching narrative of early modern science.
		England had also developed a distinctive national approach to science, emphasizing the practical application of exact science in pursuits such as instrument-making, surveying, and navigation, and a continuity of interest in the “mathematicall” sciences amongst practitioners of diverse backgrounds(1).
		John Dee is an exception to the general disinterest in Tudor science, but he is usually treated as an aberration, a Renaissance magus performing curious and dubious acts, possibly under the influence of a charlatan.
