"Great minds that have graced humanity such as those of Plato, Shakespeare, and da Vinci credited mathematics, or the concept of Number, as essential to explain the workings of the universe. numbers represented a language by the use of which humankind could evolve and prosper. The language of numbers lives within the magic square. Cultures from East to West - including Chinese, Taoist, early Christian, and Renaissance European - recognized that the magic square could be an ideal model for projecting a mystical mathematical symbolism that placed humankind in harmony with Heaven and earth. hence the significance of the magic square to the ground plans of sacred structures from early Chinese temples to Renaissance cathedrals. The early Chinese were most aware of the heavenly nature of Number and developed the usage of the magic square by incorporating it into city layouts, temple designs, and ceremonial relics. The early church was also very impressed by the cosmo-magical properties of the magic square and surreptitiously borrowed this and other symbols from the orient to represent the concepts of time and space. The ancient wisdom of Number provided the spark by which civilization accelerated the evolution process. The math (time and space) symbols that resulted from thousands of years of oriental tradition reflected the importance of Number and played a significant role in the art and architecture of the early church. This book will demonstrate how the magic square was used as a powerful tool for political and religious authority in China and the West." (from the back cover)
