Porphyry's Commentary on Ptolemy's Harmonics: A Greek Text and Annotated Translation
Andrew Barker
The first English translation of Porphyry's Commentary on Ptolemy's Harmonics, accompanied by a revised Greek text, an introduction and substantial annotation. The work deserves close attention for its remarkable mixture of philosophical, musicological and arithmetical reasoning, and for its special place in the ancient commentary tradition.
