Reflections on sound and music inspired by thephilosophy of nature Pietro d'Abano (c.1257-1315) is one of the principal commentators on the Aristotelian Problemata(c. 250 BC), of which section XIX deals with various aspects of sound, andvocal and instrumental music. Written around 1300 and widely distributed in the14th and 15th centuries, the commentary on the fifty problems in this sectiondevelops an innovative discourse on the perception of singing and instrumentalmusic and their effects.

The basic text of the present edition is theVenice edition (1519). It has been revised in the light of a collection ofmanuscript sources, including the oldest.
