John Wallis (1616-1703), was one of the foremost British
mathematicians of the seventeenth century, and is also remembered
for his important writings on grammar and logic. An interest in
music theory led him to produce translations into Latin of three
ancient Greek texts - those of Ptolemy, Porphyry and Bryennius -
and involved him in discussions with Henry Oldenburg, the Secretary
of the Royal Society, Thomas Salmon and other individuals as his
ideas developed. The texts presented in this volume cover the
relationship of ancient and modern tuning theory, the building of
organs, the phenomena of resonance, and other musical topics.
