Description: A diagram of I Ching hexagrams owned by German mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. It was sent to Leibniz from the French Jesuit Joachim Bouvet.

The same order is used on the outside, reading up from the bottom around on the right, then up again on the left to the top.
