God the Geometer
Ici crie Dex ciel et terre, soleil et lune et toz elemenz

Science, and particularly geometry and astronomy, was linked directly to the divine for most medieval scholars. Since God created the universe after geometric and harmonic principles, to seek these principles was therefore to seek and worship God.

Great Architect of the Universe – Wikipedia

We are looking at an enluminure from an illuminated Bible manuscript. God the Geometer is from a Bible moralisée made in 13th-century France (1250). God is viewed as a geometer. Yet, geometers could not have existed before God created the world. So, ironically, God is borrowing an instrument that men will create after He has created “heaven and earth, the sun and the moon and all the elements.” Moreover, the instrument reminds me of the Masonic Square and Compasses. (See Great Architect of the Universe, and Freemasonry, Wikipedia)

Discrepancies such as using what has not been created, knowing events before they happen, Jesus redeeming Mary before He was born, awake in me feelings I cannot describe adequately: the ineffable infinity.

This Bible Moralisée reminds me of The Bible of St Louis (13th c., Paris) – V. English – www.moleiro.com. The Bible of St Louis (13th c., Paris) – V. English – www.moleiro.com – YouTube
