Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 12th Jun 2026 - At the center of Centola’s analysis is da Vinci’s 1490 drawing, which the author interprets not simply as an anatomical study but as a symbolic framework connecting proportion, geometry, and metaphysical inquiry. Through close examination of the figure’s radial composition and spatial balance, Centola links the human body to the golden ratio, Fibonacci sequences, and architectural patterns associated with biblical symbolism. From the structure of the spine to the rhythms of breath and heartbeat, the book presents the body as a system shaped by mathematical order and symbolic coherence.A major focus of the work is da Vinci’s superimposition of two poses within a single figure. Centola interprets this dual structure as an expression of humanity’s tension between earthly existence and transcendence: the lower body enclosed within the square as a symbol of material life, and the outstretched figure within the circle as an image of spiritual aspiration and continuity beyond the physical world.From this broader symbolic framework, the book also turns toward questions of absence and representation within sacred geometry. Addressing what Centola describes as the historical exclusion of the feminine form from many traditional geometric systems, the study explores how curvature, gestation, rhythm, and fluidity function as complementary expressions of divine structure. Rather than treating geometry solely as rigid measurement, the book expands it into a wider meditation on balance, creation, embodiment, and human continuity.What distinguishes The Mystery of Mysteries is its interdisciplinary scope. Centola combines theology, anatomy, mathematics, philosophy, and visual symbolism while maintaining an accessible narrative sty...
