Book Overview

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 cosmology 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.

   Great Book
I've read all the books, and I love this one. Great book, full of great information and illustrations. Both the Echo and the Sciencia came with defects. At the top of the page, I found a photo of the child. Also, be careful with the bookbinding material, which is made out of will scratch and get scuffed easily.

   Certainly one of the most Beautiful books I have ever owned
The book is also available in the "American Masters" series, "American Masters" series by Brian Baldacci. I've had many, many friends and family members read it. The topics are layer by layer: math, science, geodesy, astronomy, mind-boggling, and so forth.

   Magnificent
I'm in love with the second book, The Last Days of the Jedi Order. The book is gorgeously designed, with gorgeous typography and a generous helping of decorative touches. This is bookmaking at its highest. Quadrivium and Sciencia deserve to be prominently displayed and frequently perused, Garton said.

   Exceeded Expectations
Great introduction to each topic, said Dr. Steve Peters, director of NASA's Ames Research Center in California. Each page has a photo of the child. Really good work, said Blair. The content is shallow, but good enough to connect everything, Hubach said. Recommend. Brand new carpet, would buy again.
