Knots and related subjects

The numbers in these captions are reference numbers from The Ashley Book of Knots. They are used to avoid the ambiguities in knot naming. I'm only aware of two translations of this work, into German as Ashley-Buch der Knoten (ISBN 9783922117377 or ISBN 9783892255277) and into French as Le Grand Livre des Noeuds (ISBN 9782070600434).
