Summary note
"This is the first critical edition of all six books of Augustine{u2019}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{u2019}s intellectual development from secular learning to Christian philosophy."--Back cover.
