| Summary: | Frontmatter -- Acknowledgements -- Table of Contents -- 1. The time-frame and circumstances of the composition of the De musica -- 2. The transmission of the text -- Bibliography -- Conspectus siglorum -- Liber primus -- Liber secundus -- Liber tertius -- Liber quartus -- Liber quintus -- Liber sextus -- Indices This is the first critical edition of all six books of Augustine’s De musica. Originally meant as part of a series of treatises on the liberal arts, it is especially important because of its presentation of metrics. Book six offers a theological discussion of perception based on the concept of numerus ("rhythm"). Thus, De musica is a fascinating document of Augustine’s intellectual development from secular learning to Christian philosophy |
