Craig Wright (2001) and Robert Ferré (2001) (see bibliography) are the first authors to consider the medieval labyrinth from an explicitly rhythmical point of view. My own theory of the rhythmical structure of the labyrinth is more advanced than theirs, and the notion of the canonical or perfect labyrinth, which is derived from that theory, is entirely new and will throw a surprising light on the whole phenomenon of the medieval labyrinth.

In particular, my theory has made it possible for me to logically derive the design of the authentic Sens cathedral labyrinth, discovered by Wright in 1996, independently and before knowing about Wright's discovery.

I am currently working on a book about the history, theory, interpretation and practical use of the medieval labyrinth. The title of the book will probably be:
 

The Medieval Labyrinth

The medieval Design
of the graphic Motif
of the Labyrinth


Book now available:

OUT OF STOCK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

In the meantime, I just finished a shorter book (72 pages) exposing briefly but completely that theory and some of its practical applications, with illustrations and original medieval type canonical labyrinth designs, for immediate publication before that of my main book. The title of that book is:
 

The Rhythmical Structure
of the Medieval Labyrinth


NB: this book is currently under revision and should become available some time this fall.
The revised text and part of the tables and illustrations can be accessed here.
