This is the first book in English devoted to music and its
intellectual context in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Drawing
on a rich body of theoretical literature and manuscript sources,
this book paints a detailed picture of the study of music in
eleventh-and early twelfth-century Germany. It focuses on the
activity of a group of prominent intellectuals based in the
monastic and cathedral schools of the German Kingdom, charting
their sources and shared concerns, while subtly examining their
reception and modification of each others' ideas. Distilling a
considerable amount of German scholarship, it situates music in its
proper place among other intellectual developments that took place
in eleventh-century Germany. This book is above all a study of
motivations and thought processes of a group of medieval thinkers:
it and will appeal to specialist and non-specialist ecclesiastical,
intellectual and cultural historians, as well as to historians of
music and of medieval culture.
