Number Symbolism is a 1970 book by English academic Christopher Butler. The book documents the occult tradition of numerology and how its use in Ancient Greek philosophy and Judeo-Christian beliefs influenced Western culture.[1] Number Symbolism provided context to the work of scholars who were promoting numerological analysis in the decade prior to the book's publication.[2]

- ^ Heninger 1972, p. 353: "Mr. Butler begins properly by distinguishing three main strands subsumed in Renaissance number symbolism: (i) the Greek tradition for a cosmogony presented as a series of ongoing mathematical relationships; (2) the Judeo-Christian tradition for Biblical exegesis based upon the premise that numbers have ulterior meanings; and (3) the extensive lore that had gradually accrued to numbers in the occult (though not irrational) sciences."
