RISM Écrits Imprimés p. 572. <br /> <br /> Part I contains the earliest examples of music engraving in France. <br /> <br /> Part II is an important study of musical instruments of the late Renaissance and early Baroque. <br /> <br /> Mersenne was a "French mathematician philosopher music theorist and savant. He was one of the leading French thinkers of the 17th century and his work is central to the academic and scientific movements of the second quarter of the century; an important part of it is devoted to the science theory and practice of music. He was a transitional figure at a crucial confluence of Renaissance and Baroque ideas in France summing up the accomplishments of the past and posing the difficult questions for the future inherent in the new attitudes of his own time." Albert Cohen in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> "An examination of the Harmonicorum will at once show how much it was in advance of anything published up to that time and it is the first in which the science of acoustics is applied practically to the study of Music. Perhaps to us in the present day the greatest interest is in the last four Books treating of the various instruments known at that time divided into stringed and wind instruments the organ having a book to itself and instruments of percussion as bells and drums. These are illustrated profusely with woodcuts as well as with engravings on copper both printed in the text. It is worthy of notice that in treating of the organ several schemes are given for dividing the octave into more than twelve semi-tones so as to be able to use it in the keys impossible with unequal temperament." Matthew: The Literature of Music p. 53. <br /> <br /> Mersenne also authored an early and influential work on music theory Harmonie Universelle published in Paris 1636-37 addressing the relationship between music and mathematics and containing the earliest presentation of what have become known as "Mersenne's Laws" describing the harmonics of vibrating strings; he is thus often referred to as the "father of acoustics."<br /> <br /> A cornerstone of the literature.

Frommann-9783772827693frommann-holzboog Verlag e.K. French. Hardcover. New. An extraordinarily ingenious and thought-provoking man Mersenne 15881648 was beneficial to the intellectual world of the 17th century in many ways. His name will forever be linked to the names of Fermat Pascal Roberval Gassendi Hobbes Descartes Cavalieri and Torricelli. Mersenne played an important role in the development of Cartesian methodology Cartesian rationalism and mechanism. His main theoretical work La vérité des Sciences The Truth of Science stands out due to a refutation of skepticism which although congenial with Descartes was also empirical and positivistic and also due to the systematic application of mathematics to all the natural sciences and the continuation of the physics of Galileo. It represents a milestone in the philosophy and natural sciences of its time. frommann-holzboog Verlag e.K. hardcover
