• ... that Perspectiva corporum regularium, a 1568 book of engraved polyhedra (pictured), demonstrates visually the medieval theory that the complexity of the physical world comes from four basic elements? Source: Hyperallergic: "The resulting manipulations are often so varied it can be hard to discern from which Platonic solid they originated.
