Secrets and Ciphers

Secrets and Ciphers

The Renaissance is an age that is teeming with still-unsolved mysteries, many of them hidden in plain sight…and in codes. Join Vanessa Braganza, AM ’21, a self-described ‘book detective,’ as she shares her discoveries about the secrets of two women of the Tudor era—Mary, Queen of Scots and Catherine of Aragon—through their uses of hidden ciphers.

Following the presentation, Harvard Griffin GSAS Dean Emma Dench will host a conversation with Braganza and the audience, including a discussion of how Braganza unearthed the truth behind a rare book in Widener Library and its supposed forgery.
