The Holy Almandal | Byrga Geniht
James D. Wenn's cutting-edge reconstruction aims to explore and explain on the one hand how the handling of geometry and philosophy in monuments such as the Cosmati Pavement and St Mary, Lulworth, directly connects with the Almandal tradition within religious and philosophical orthodoxy; whilst the Almandal itself gained traction but was misunderstood enough to spawn a long and intense, yet highly confused genre of literature.
