Description

Explore the musical theories of one of the most significant British mathematicians of the seventeenth century. This volume from the Music Theory in Britain, 1500-1700 series provides a critical look at the writings of John Wallis (1616-1703). While widely recognized for his work in mathematics, grammar, and logic, Wallis made significant contributions to the study of music. This collection includes his translations into Latin of three ancient Greek texts by Ptolemy, Porphyry, and Bryennius. The content tracks his intellectual development through discussions with notable figures like Henry Oldenburg, the Secretary of the Royal Society, and Thomas Salmon. Readers will find detailed coverage regarding the relationship between ancient and modern tuning theory, the construction of organs, and various musical phenomena. This book serves as a vital resource for scholars of classical music history and seventeenth-century scientific thought.
