Cloth, gilt cover-initials, 4to, 25 cm, xxviii, 512 pp. From the preface: ".in this volume we present an opening on to the world of Arab music theory. Through the 341 texts included, the reader may encounter a musical thought revealing itself in a multitude of nuances that touch upon the various domains of the intellectual activity of many generations.
