In his book, we witness the merger of "musica", then an abstract academic enterprise, and "cantus", or practical music. The volume spans a millenium of writtings, ranging from scriptural commentaries by St. Jerome and other fourth-century Chruch Fathers to an excerpt from "Speculum musicae", an extensive fourteenth-century treatise by Jacques of Liège. Along the way we read from the works of St. Agustine, Boethius, Hildegard of Bingen, Guido of Arezzo, Franco of Cologne, and a score of others, all in impeccable English translations prepared and revised by James McKinnon.
