The authors present a translation of Pavel Florensk’s explanation of Vladimir Favorsky’s cover for Florensky’s book Imaginary Points in Geometry (1922). They also present illustrations of that cover and other works by Favorsky that are pertinent to his association with Florensky. In the first introductory section, Kirill Sokolov gives a practising artist’s assessment of Favorsky’s method of organising time and space. In the second introductory section, Avril Pyman highlights Florensk’s interest in theology, art and science to elucidate what he called “the general trend towards synthesis of our future culture” and to explain why he considered Favorsky’s work “art impregnated with mathematical thought”
