Speculatio de Musica

"Speculatio de Musica" is a medieval philosophical and mathematical study of music that examines its theoretical foundations. It explores how music relates to numbers, harmony, and the universe’s order, based on the idea that music reflects the underlying principles of nature and cosmos. Rather than just focusing on practical performance, it seeks to understand music's essence, structure, and ratios, emphasizing its role in universal harmony and human perception. This approach was influential in shaping ideas about music's connection to mathematics and philosophy during the Middle Ages.
