Description: Isaac Newton and the Temple of Solomon by Tessa Morrison Isaac Newton published little but wrote hundreds of manuscripts, the bulk of them on alchemy, prophecy and theology. His writings on the Temple of Solomon have widely been thought to have been written in old age or possibly after a nervous breakdown in 1693. This book examines Newtons work in the context of his times, when the Temple was a popular subject for academics. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Isaac Newton published little but wrote hundreds of manuscripts, the bulk of them on alchemy, prophecy and theology. His writings on the Temple of Solomon have widely been thought to have been written in old age or possibly after a nervous breakdown in 1693. In fact, his study of the Temple spanned more than fifty years. This book examines Newtons work in the context of his times, when the Temple was a popular subject for academics, and models were displayed to the general public. The author provides insight into Newtons writings in Latin on Solomons Temple, along with a model reconstructed from his interpretation of its structure, symmetry and proportional elegance. Author Biography Tessa Morrison is a senior lecturer at the School of Architecture and Built Environment at University of Newcastle, Australia, with a research interest in unbuilt utopian cities.
