A great deal has been written on arithmology by David R. Howlett and by
Robert D. Stevick. I would recommend Howlett's recent studies on the
numerical ratios of Biblical style and Stevick's _The Earliest Irish and
English Bookarts: Visual and Poetic Forms before A.D. 1000_ (U
Pennsylvania Press, 1994), ISBN 0-8122-3220-8. Stevick's bibliography
will suggest further reading.
