"This is the first book that looks at medieval diagrams in a cross-cultural perspective,
focusing on three regions-Byzantium, the Islamicate world, and the Latin West-each
culturally diverse and each closely linked to the others through complex processes
of intellectual, artistic, diplomatic, and mercantile exchange. The volume unites
case studies, often of little-known material, by an international set of specialists,
and is prefaced by four introductory essays that provide broad overviews of diagrammatic
traditions in these regions in addition to considering the theoretical dimensions
of diagramming. Among the historical disciplines whose use of diagrams is explored
are philosophy, theology, mysticism, music, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, and
cosmology. Despite the sheer variety, ingenuity, and visual inventiveness of diagrams
from the premodern world, in conception and practical use they often share many similarities,
both in construction and application. Diagrams prove to be an essential part of the
fabric of premodern intellectual, scientific, religious, artistic, and artisanal life"
