Dear Brethren All,
We know that Euclid's 47th theorem and Pythagorus are fairly important in Masonry, adorning the PM's jewel. We further know that geometry and music were vital to Pythagorus' "Harmony of the Spheres". Geometry and Music also feature in the Several Liberal Arts, forming part of every gentleman's classical education, typically as part of his Grand Tour. I've always loved this explanation:
Trivium, 3 roads
- Grammar
- Rhetoric
- Logic
Quadrivium, 4 roads
- Arithmetic (number)
- Geometry (number in space)
- Music (number in time)
- Astronomy (number in space and time)
What did Pythagorus discover in Egypt as part of his Grand Tour? Would relish to hear your thoughts brethren.
Yours, fraternally
Bevan
