The power of the driving force of faith to uncover the laws of nature pays off with intricate designs inlaid in the Hagia Sofia that uses sophisticated number patterns and acoustics in its elegant and magical construction.

Ruth Dwyer: "Byzantine emperor Justinian named 'the Church of Holy Wisdom,' the 6th century philosopher Boethius and his translations known as the Quadrivium. The church, the philosopher, and his translations are all linked to the Byzantine concept of wisdom. We will begin with the building which was completed by Justinian in 537":

The third installment in the Ancient Symmetria series by Ruth Dwyer. This presentation discusses the role of Boethius' Latin translations of the Quadrivium (Arithmetic, Geometry, Music and Astronomy) in the design and construction of the Hagia Sophia, built by the Emperor Justinian in Constantinople, now Istanbul. This original research was presented at the 48th International Congress on Medieval Studies in 2013 in Kalamazoo, MI. Very exciting discoveries are made!
