Isidore of Miletus (Greek: Ἰσίδωρος ὁ Μιλήσιος; Medieval Greek pronunciation: [iˈsiðoros o miˈlisios]; Latin: Isidorus Miletus) was one of the two main Byzantine Greek mathematician, physicist and architects (Anthemius of Tralles was the other)[1] that Emperor Justinian I commissioned to design the cathedral Hagia Sophia in Constantinople from 532 to 537. He was born c. 475 AD.[2] The creation of an important compilation of Archimedes' works has been attributed to him.[3] The spurious Book XV from Euclid's Elements has been partly attributed to Isidore of Miletus.[4]
