Quatrième de couverture : "Dans l’Antiquité, les mythes agissaient en structurant toutes les représentations du corps et de l’esprit qui donnaient un sens à la condition humaine. Un grand nombre de ces représentations subsistent, à notre insu, dans nos conceptions les plus actuelles concernant la maladie, la santé ou la mort, parce que la plupart des mots qu’utilise notre médecine moderne sont issus du latin et du grec et que ces mots étaient autrefois adressés aux dieux et façonnés dans l’art poétique. Jacqueline Vons est une amie des textes anciens, qu’elle fréquente depuis toujours : elle a recherché ceux traitant des mythes se rapportant à la médecine et à la santé, qu’elle a elle-même retraduits pour la plupart. Elle nous entraîne dans un périple d’une étonnante modernité : les conceptions mythiques traitant de la beauté des corps divins, de la condition mortelle des hommes, des origines divines de la maladie, de l’art d’opérer avec les mains, de l’invention des arts et des techniques, de la fabrique du corps, des eaux guérisseuses, de la coction, de la parole qui soigne… éclairent d’une manière insoupçonnée certaines conceptions scientifiques parmi les plus rationnelles en dévoilant leur enracinement dans une tradition millénaire et en illustrant leur filiation mythique."

Ptolemy's comprehensive treatises on astronomy and geography were influential for nearly two millennia. Equally influential was his treatise on harmonics, the ancient science which combined and brought to completion the study of philosophy and science. This volume offers a comprehensive English translation and commentary of Ptolemy's Harmonics . The treatise begins with Ptolemy's study of pitches and intervals, for which he extracts both an idealized musical scale and a new acoustical tool. After discussing modulation, he expands his horizons by applying musical intervals to the human soul and celestial bodies, ultimately describing a cosmic harmony. The English translation faithfully reproduces Ptolemy's style and includes all the charts surviving in the manuscript tradition. The commentary offers a full exegesis of the text, loci paralleli, and citations of modern scholarly sources.
