Lead
Isidore of Miletus (Ἰσίδωρος ὁ Μιλήσιος; Medieval Greek pronunciation: ; Isidorus Miletus) was one of the two main Byzantine Greek architects (Anthemius of Tralles was the other) that Emperor Justinian I commissioned to design the cathedral Hagia Sophia in Constantinople from 532 to 537. He was born circa 510 AD. The creation of an important compilation of Archimedes' works has been attributed to him. The spurious Book XV from Euclid's Elements has been partly attributed to Isidore of Miletus.

Teachings and Edits
Much of Isidore's work that has been preserved are his edits and commentaries on older Greek mathematical texts. Isidore is known to have edited much of Archimedes texts. A number of Archimedes' original works (find which ones exactly) were first edited by Isidore.

That being said, claims from (find who's making the claims) have been made about a so called "School of Isidore". In his time between architectural exploits, Isidore taught about math and geometry of the time. His teaching's about math and geometry revitalized interest in Archimedes and Euclid in that time. This theoretical school attributes to the statement that Isidore did not write and publish much of his work, but instead was content with his work once it seemed clear to himself. The only credible evidence of this "School of Isidore" is a book written by one of his known pupil's, Eutocius, which is dedicated to "Isidore our great teacher".
