Abstract
The Musica speculativa of Jean des Murs played a key role in renewing interest in the teaching of Boethius in the fourteenth century. We argue that this treatise is much more than a summary of the Boethian De institutione musica in presenting its core teachings as fully consistent within an Aristotelian theory of knowledge. Two versions of its prologue (1323 and 1325 respectively) are examined together with their relationship to Jean’s Notitia artis musicae (1321) and the innovative significance of its mathematical-style presentation of the teaching of Boethius about proportions with its appeal to clear diagrams. We aim to guide the modern reader through the thought patterns and diagrams of Jean des Murs, demonstrating why the Musica speculativa was so widely studied in the later Middle Ages. The two different prologues are presented in English translation for the first time.
让·德斯·穆尔斯的《推测音乐》在14世纪重新激发人们对博埃修斯教学的兴趣方面发挥了关键作用。我们认为，这篇论文不仅仅是对Boethian De Institute musica的总结，它将其核心教义呈现为与亚里士多德的知识理论完全一致。其序言的两个版本（分别为1323和1325），以及它们与Jean的《音乐艺术》（1321）的关系，以及其数学风格对Boethius关于比例的教学的创新意义，以及其对清晰图表的吸引力。我们的目的是通过让·德斯·穆尔斯的思维模式和图表来引导现代读者，展示为什么《推测音乐》在中世纪后期受到如此广泛的研究。这两个不同的序言是第一次在英文翻译中出现。
期刊介绍：
Early Music History is devoted to the study of music from the early Middle Ages to the end of the seventeenth century. It gives preference to studies pursuing interdisciplinary approaches and to those developing new methodological ideas. The scope is broad and includes manuscript studies, textual criticism, iconography, studies of the relationship between words and music, and the relationship between music and society.
