About the Book

Among the many subjects on which Theophrastus wrote, music is one of the most fascinating, as is testified by the sources discussed in this volume. Although scanty, the material we have—sixteen texts altogether, most of which are indirect testimonies—gives an idea of the originality and modernity of Theophrastus’ thought on music, and makes us regret that we do not know more. Our philosopher conceives of music as something that originates from a movement in the soul caused by passions and comes into existence through the body. Accordingly, he is interested in performance—i.e. the way in which musical expression is brought to the listener—and its effects on the soul and the body—e.g. musical therapy.

About the Author :
Massimo Raffa, Ph.D. (2000, University of Palermo) is a teacher of Classics and former Research Fellow at the University of Perugia. He is the translator of Ptolemy’s Harmonics and Porphyry’s Commentary into Italian (Bompiani 2016) and critical editor of the latter for the Teubner series (De Gruyter 2016).

Review :
"As a remarkable piece of scholarship, this book should be read from cover to cover not only by scholars interested in the musical side of the Theophrastean thought, but also by those interested in ancient Greek music in much broader sense." Angelo Meriani, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2019.11.10.
