520 _aFr. RELAÑO, Cosmographia Arithmetica: the world, its parts, and medieval numerology Since Ancient times people everywhere have always been fascinated with numbers and their combinations. The present essay starts with the Western world in the Middle Ages and examines the influence numerology exerted on cosmography. It then focuses on the adaptation and transformation that medieval numerology underwent as a result of the changing of geographical perception carried out during the Renaissance. This resulted in a gradual erosion of the prescriptive value of its analogical principles in the representation of the world on paper.
