Woman teaching geometry
High resolution image

Détail d'une scène dans la lettre 'P' d’une enluminure avec une femme tenant une équerre et un compas à pointes sèches. Elle est observée par un groupe d'étudiants. Au Moyen âge, il est inhabituel de voir des femmes représentées comme des professeurs, en particulier quand les étudiants semblent être des moines. Elle est plus probablement la personnification de la Géométrie, basée sur le livre célèbre de Martianus Capella de Nuptiss Philologiae et Mercurii, [5ème c.] une source standard des images allégoriques des sept arts libéraux. Illustration au début des Eléments d'Euclide, dans la traduction attribuée à Adelard de Bath.
