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.
