Abstract
A book bearing such a title surely will arouse the curiosity of the readers of the Nexus Network Journal, especially those engaged in the study of ancient architecture. So far, the scientific study of the reciprocal interactions between mathematics and architecture has produced a vast amount of articles and papers, but there are not yet many books in which every chapter is dedicated only and entirely to this topic, especially as far as pre-classic antiquity is concerned.
