Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Provides a mathematical proof of why the closed strand loops found in Celtic art may be consistently interlaced, and explains how, by first making cuts in such strand configurations, then manoeuvring and finally rejoining some or all of the ends, it is possible to produce all the forms of Celtic interlace art. It is not suggested however that the contemporary illustrators possessed the sophisticated mathematical knowledge that underlies their intuitive techniques. |
