Collecting together numerous examples of Augustine's musical
imagery in action, Laurence Wuidar reconstructs the linguistic
laboratory and the hermeneutics in which he worked. Sensitive and
poetical, this volume is a reminder that the metaphor of music can
give access not only to human interiority, but allow the human mind
to achieve proximity to the divine mind. Composed by one of
Europe's leading musicologists now engaging an English-speaking
audience for the first time, this book is a candid exploration of
Wuidar's expertise. Drawing on her long knowledge of music and the
occult, from antiquity to modernity, Wuidar particularly focuses
upon Augustine's working methods while refusing to be distracted by
questions of faith or morality. The result is an open and at times
frightening vista on the powers that be, and our complex need to
commune with them.
