EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a detail of a manuscript page depicting the allegories of arithmetic and geometry, with a Latin poem paying homage to King Robert I of Naples. The focus of this image is Pythagoras, the renowned Greek mathematician and philosopher who lived around 570-480 BC.
In this intricate artwork from the 14th century held at the Biblioteca Nazionale in Florence, Pythagoras is depicted as a symbol of wisdom and knowledge. The geometric shapes and tools surrounding him emphasize his contributions to mathematics and science, including his famous Pythagorean theorem.
The illumination manuscript showcases the ancient Greek culture's reverence for intellect and learning. It serves as a reminder of how foundational figures like Pythagoras laid the groundwork for modern mathematics and scientific inquiry.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to an era where scholars like Pythagoras were revered for their groundbreaking discoveries. This print not only celebrates the brilliance of one man but also pays tribute to an entire civilization's dedication to understanding the mysteries of our world through logic and reason.
