Quadrivium: The Four Classical Liberal Arts of Number, Geometry, Music, & Cosmology by Miranda Lundy, Daud Sutton, Anthony Ashton
4.0
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).
At the end of the day, it's more of a "here's a bunch of cool facts about the Quadrivium" book than anything else. But boy are the facts cool. And boy does it do a good job of using the facts to reveal a mindset, and not just present facts for facts' sake.
Rating: 3.5 Stars (Good).
