Hexaemeron
Hexaemeron (from the Greek ἕξ héx 'six' and ἡμέρα hēméra 'day') is a name for the six days of creation in Genesis (Gen 1,1–2,4 EU ) or for a treatise on them.
Such treatises offer theological explanations and often offer information about contemporary cosmology, conception of nature and world views. The inclusion of the heliocentric worldview is significant for the Hexaemeron of Bonaventura (1273) .
For example, wrote about the hexaemeron:
- Philo of Alexandria : De opificio mundi (1st century)
