This second volume of Greek Musical Writings contains important
texts on harmonic and acoustic theory, illustrating the progress of
these sciences from their beginnings in the sixth century BC over
the subsequent thousand years. Writers represented include
Philolaus, Plato, Aristotle, Theophrastus, Aristoxenus, Ptolemy,
Aristides, Archytas, and Quintilianus. All the Greek texts are
newly translated by the editor. Some replace inadequate existing
translations; other significant portions of the book include much
that is essential for an understanding of medieval and Renaissance
musicology. Dr Barker provides detailed and authoritative
commentary and annotations to all the texts. Each section is
prefaced by an introductory essay and some of the more complex
issues are discussed further in appendices.
