More about the book

The exploration of the Greek term "stoicheion" reveals its rich, multifaceted meanings of "element," "letter," and "numeral" across cultures and centuries. Juan Acevedo delves into its interpretations in Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic, particularly within significant texts of the Abrahamic religions. This metaphysical study intertwines concepts of alchemy and theology, highlighting a shared alphanumeric cosmology that influenced science and faith in the Mediterranean. Through careful analysis of key philosophical and religious works, the book uncovers profound implications for various fields of study.
