After a biographical account of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, examines the architecture of the Castel del Monte, consisting of an octagonal core with eight octagonal towers, built by Frederick in the 1240s. Discusses the possible numerical symbolism of the architecture, especially in relation to the game of chess, notes earlier octagonal buildings, and concludes with a section on the numerical symbolism of Hagia Sophia, Istanbul.
