Summary

This collection by Amnon Shiloah brings together twenty-two studies exemplifying the multi-faceted viewpoints on the world of sounds and its virtue in medieval Islamic and Judaic writings. The studies concern the origin and originators of music; the symbolic, philosophical and metaphorical interpretation of music; the transmission of knowledge; and the cultural traditions elaborated on European soil developing a particular style and musical practice, centred on the Iberian Peninsula, which was the scene of one of the most fascinating examples of cultural interchange.
