Title: Porphyry's Commentary on Ptolemy's Harmonics
Description: "The only surviving ancient commentary on technical text, is not merely a study of Ptolemy's Harmonics. It includes virtually free-standing philosophical essays on epistemology, metaphysics, scientific methodology, aspects of the Aristotelian categories and the relations between Aristotle's views and Plato's, and a host of briefer comments on other matters of wide philosophical interest."--Page 4 of cover.
