Music in the Writings and Imagination of Silesian Humanists explores the sound-world of early modern Silesia through the writings of humanists active there in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who both observed musical culture and actively participated in it: a poet, a publisher, a pedagogue, a physician, a historian, and a regionalist. Such an approach makes it possible to reconstruct their perceptions and understandings of music-as a constitutive element of their community. Since these authors were drawn more to representations of music than to the art itself, the book collates vignettes of the collective memory of the republic of scholars: their individual and common imaginarium.
