Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) was the last Renaissance man and the first scholar with a global reputation. In the mid-1600s, he publishes the three volumes of Oedipus Aegyptiacus. In the second volume, Kircher covers the four liberal arts of Arithmetic, Geometry, Music and Astronomy, the Quadrivium. Kircher relies on many ancient texts to compile this tome. For the first time, Athanasius Kircher's Quadrivium is translated into English with the original drawings restored.
