Pop-Up Quiz - Answers

1) a) 1200’s

2) c) Benedictine monk Matthew Paris created the first know “volvelle,” a paper wheel which was attached to a page in book. Before the volvelle, monk’s had to turn a heavy book around in their lap to view a circular chart from different angles. The chart told them when certain holidays should be observed. Matthew’s volvelle meant that only the circular chart needed to be turned, not the heavy book.

3) C) 1770’s

The pop-up is a paper box, with strings representing lines of perspective running through it, that is activated by pulling a string.
