The library
The shelves of Dendera’s library: astrology, the Book of Changes, dreams and the lore of animals and stones. Each work is in the public domain, and each record notes the edition used, where its text came from, and why it is free to use.
Holding a work is not the same as reading from it. A statement from one of these books appears in Dendera only after the rule behind it has been reviewed.
36 works in all, as recorded in version 0.13.0 of Dendera’s engine
