Description

Though we can no longer hear how it sounded, the written sources that remain provide much information on the music of the medieval Islamic and Jewish worlds, on how it was regarded and on the importance that was attached to it. Amnon Shiloah has been a pioneer in the exploration of these sources, and the present volume brings together some of the results. The opening studies examine, with annotated translations, several key works expounding the meaning of music and its power, in terms of its ethical and therapeutic effects and properties. The following articles focus on scientific writings about
music and on the transmission of musical knowledge, while the final section approaches the subject from the angle of religion, noting how the power attributed to music occasioned the distrust of many religious figures, who feared its capacity to deprave and debase its audience.
Bien que nous ne puissions plus de nos jours l'entendre, les sources crites qui ont survcu apportent normment d'information sur la musique des mondes juifs et islamiques, sur l'importance qui y tait attache et sur son rle.
Le professeur Shiloah est un des pionniers en terme d'exploration de ces sources et le prsent volume rassemble un certain nombre des rsultats de ses recherches. Les premires tudes, accompagnes de traductions annotes, font l'examen de plusieurs travaux importants, exposant la signification de la musique et sa puissance de par ses effets et ses proprits morales et thrapeutiques. Les articles suivants se concentrent sur les crits scientifiques au sujet de la musique et sur la propagation de la connaissance musicale.
La dernire section aborde le sujet
partir de l'aspect de la religion, soulignant combien le pouvoir attribu
la musique entranait une certaine mfiance de la part d'un certain nombre de religieux, qui craignaient son aptitude
avilir et dpraver ceux qui l'ecoutaient.
