Video Orientation to the University of Pennsylvania Library's LJS 47 - Boethius. De institutione musica.
Summary: 15th-century copy of a Latin treatise on the Pythagorean-based theory of ancient Greek music, in which the text reflects an older (10th-century) tradition and the numerous diagrams related to ratio and pitch demonstrate later developments in the tradition.
