The Origin Of Numbers And Its Culture.

Give Relevant Examples


Assalammualaikum and greetings.
There are many history about the origin of numbers that were being used in the past. In the
earlier of 13th century, a notation numbers between 1 and 99 were introduced by Archdeacon
John of Basingstoke based on a vertical stroke provided with an appendage to the left
(representing the units) and another to the right (tens). Divers variants of the system turn up in
various Cistercian manuscripts, and were used for a variety of purposes, along with Roman and
Hindu-Arabic numerals.
In 1533, Agrippa von Nettesheym (a personal physician to Luisa di Savoia and a
historian of Carlo V) included a description of a vertical variant of the ciphers in his Occult
Philosophy.
From then on and until the 19th century, the ciphers were remembered as “Chaldaean”.
In early 20th-century Germany they turned Runic and Aryan. This original numeral system
later fell out of use and was forgotten.
Agrippa’s number-notation system called “Notae Elegantissimae” allows to write
numbers from 1 up to 9999 and was primarily employed for indexing purposes, where its
compactness was a great advantage. But it is also useful as a mnemonic aid.
Example
The symbol K in the example further below may mean 1414 (the first 4 figures of the square
root of 2).
