Ilustration During Books Quadrivium: The Four Classical Liberal Arts of Number, Geometry, Music, & Cosmology (Wooden Books)

The quadrivium-the classical curriculum-comprises the four liberal arts of number, geometry, music, and cosmology. It was studied from antiquity to the Renaissance as a way of glimpsing the nature of reality. Geometry is number in space; music is number in time; and comology expresses number in space and time. Number, music, and geometry are metaphysical truths: life across the universe investigates them; they foreshadow the physical sciences.


Quadrivium is the first volume to bring together these four subjects in many hundreds of years. Composed of six successful titles in the Wooden Books series-Sacred Geometry, Sacred Number, Harmonograph, The Elements of Music, Platonic & Archimedean Solids, and A Little Book of Coincidence-it makes ancient wisdom and its astonishing interconnectedness accessible to us today.

Beautifully produced in six different colors of ink, Quadrivium will appeal to anyone interested in mathematics, music, astronomy, and how the universe works.

Evaluation About Books Quadrivium: The Four Classical Liberal Arts of Number, Geometry, Music, & Cosmology (Wooden Books)

This book I first discovered in a community college library. Some 3 to 4 years later, I finally finished my own copy of this book, and I have never been happier to say that this book was worth the time it took to read, despite all the times I failed to read it in the first place. I recommend this book to all my friends.

Excellent intro into how numbers arent merely of mans creation, but that which references a divine influence within all things.

Fascinating. A wealth of information and wonder at the mysteries of the universe. This does not read like a standard book, but makes more sense as a kind of reference or encyclopedia. There were many things way over my head, but I found it all interesting. The graphics and diagrams on every other page were delightful and well-done. This would be a good introduction to see what the quadrivium can be, but you would need another source to teach these arts.

Started reading this book... Didn't understand shit! Ya'll be tripping this book is like reading absolute gibberish

I thought I had received a classical education. Then I found this book...

Fascinating book on the Quadrivium. I learned a lot from it. At times the book went beyond my ability to understand it (particularly in the geometry and music sections), but it was accessible for the most part. The biggest thing I gained from this, however, was not specific knowledge about the Quadrivium, but a better grasp on the larger point of the Quadrivium and how the Quadrivium is meant to be viewed (or: rather, how the Quadrivium is to reshape our own views and feelings).
