Geometry of Greek Vases by L.D. Caskey, First Edition
About the Item
Geometry of Greek Vases, Attic Vases in the Museum of Fine Arts Analysed According to the Principles of Proportion Discovered by Jay Hambidge. Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 1922. Hardcover with no dust jacket. 235 pp. A fascinating book that explores the remarkable connection between the proportions of ancient Greek vases and those of certain rectangles derived from the square. A simple process which was familiar to Greek geometers. It is the same phenomenon found in Greek temples, notably the Parthenon, and other product of the minor arts that are based geometrical principles. Book appears un-read many of the pages have never been cut. Important and rare book.
