Fr. RELAÑO, Cosmographia Arithmetica: the world, its parts, and medieval numerology
Since Ancient times people everywhere have always been fascinated with
numbers and their combinations. The present essay starts with the Western world in
the Middle Ages and examines the influence numerology exerted on cosmography.
It then focuses on the adaptation and transformation that medieval numerology
underwent as a result of the changing of geographical perception carried out during
the Renaissance. This resulted in a gradual erosion of the prescriptive value of its
analogical principles in the representation of the world on paper. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
