Exploring the origins and evolution of musica mundana and musica humana, this work delves into early Near Eastern creeds and their development through Plato, Gnosticism, and medieval to Renaissance art and literature. Unlike previous studies that focus on singular aspects of music symbolism, it connects these musical concepts to broader themes in philosophy, aesthetics, and religious history, highlighting their significance in the overall narrative of civilization.
