Book Synopsis

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 Newton''s 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 Newton''s writings in Latin on Solomon''s Temple, along with a model reconstructed from his interpretation of its structure, symmetry and proportional elegance.
