The Theology of Arithmetic
Iamblichus
Attributed to the neo-Pythagorean philosopher Iamblichus, this important sourcework discusses the mystical, mathematical and cosmological symbolism of the first ten numbers. The most complete work on number symbolism to survive from the ancient world, it remains indispensable for any student of Pythagorean thought, Neoplatonism, or numerology. This careful translation contains helpful footnotes, an extensive glossary, and bibliography, making it highly accessible to the modern reader.
