Description<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Dr. Josep Lluis i Ginovart<\/p><\/div>\n

The classical historiography of Gothic architecture argued that the construction of cathedrals stemmed from Neoplatonic knowledge and that their geometric definition and proportions reflected the knowledge of the bishops and their canons. Traditional topographic instruments made data collection in these structures very limited, and therefore their theories, under these premises, remained hypotheses. With the new Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) techniques and their application, we can now precisely understand the built form, and these theses can be verified.<\/p>\n

The discourse focuses on geometric aspects in the construction of the Gothic cathedral of Tortosa through the analysis of the design found in the Antoni Guarc parchment (c. 1345\u20131380) and the knowledge of the Chapter as seen in its library, with the study of codices ACTo 20, 80, and 236. These revealed the intellectual lineage of the main transmitters of the Timaeus: Calcidius, Macrobius, and Martianus Capella, as well as medieval authors like Gerbert of Aurillac, linked to Adelard of Bath (1090\u20131160), and a gloss on Euclid\u2019s Elementa (c. 325\u2013c. 265 BC) by Al-\u1e24ajj\u0101j ibn Y\u016bsuf ibn Ma\u1e6dar.<\/p>\n

The comparative and transversal reading of the cathedral of Tortosa through the knowledge of its promoters and their library; that of the medieval master through the analysis of the auxiliary drawings in Guarc\u2019s parchment; and the statistical treatment of geometry based on the results from the Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), have made it possible to prove the thesis: Worringer, Erwin Panofsky, and Otto von Simson were right.<\/p>\n

With this methodology, we understand why the heptagonal apse of the cathedral of Tortosa is 150 palms wide, even though the heptagon does not appear in Euclid\u2019s Elementa or Ptolemy\u2019s Syntaxis Mathematica. Or the reason for the exaltation of the cathedral\u2019s keystone, representing the Coronation of the Virgin, which measures ten palms in diameter, is surrounded by ten angels, is placed one hundred palms high, and weighs ten tons.<\/p>\n
