Description

Explore the profound symbolism embedded in medieval religious architecture across the Greek East and Latin West. This scholarly work challenges conventional thinking by demonstrating that the display of number and geometry in churches and sacred buildings was not merely the result of practical mason techniques, but rather a deliberate expression of Christian Platonist intellectual thought. The author provides compelling historical evidence that architects and builders intentionally incorporated symbolic meaning through mathematical and geometric principles. By treating architecture as a language of faith and reason, the book reveals how medieval builders used sacred proportions and numerical relationships to communicate theological concepts to the faithful. This volume serves as a comprehensive companion to the author's earlier work, The Wise Master Builder, offering readers deeper insight into how medieval craftsmen transformed religious conviction into built form through learned symbolism.

Key Features

Grounds analysis in Christian Platonist thought, revealing the theological foundations underlying architectural design choices.

Provides historical evidence that medieval builders deliberately incorporated mathematical symbolism to convey faith and doctrine.
