Ptolemy's treatise seeks to invest it with new scientific rigour; its consistently sophisticated procedural self-awareness marks it as a key text in the history of science. This book is a sustained methodological exploration of Ptolemy's project. After an analysis of his explicit pronouncements on the science's aims and the methods appropriate to it, it examines Ptolemy's conduct of his investigation in detail, concluding that despite occasional uncertainties, the declared procedure is followed with remarkable fidelity. Ptolemy pursues tenaciously his novel objective of integrating closely the project's theoretical and empirical phases and shows astonishing mastery of the concept, the design and the conduct of controlled experimental tests. By opening up this neglected text to historians of science, the book aims to provide a point of departure for wider studies of Greek scientific method. 606 $aMusic theory$xHistory$yTo 500 606 $aScience, Ancient 615 0$aMusic theory$xHistory 615 0$aScience, Ancient. 676 $a781./0901 700 $aBarker$b Andrew$f1943-$0186564 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455042803321 996 $aScientific method in Ptolemy's Harmonics$91011491 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01313nam0 22002891i 450 001 UON00214250 005 20231205103347.316 100 $a20030730f1984 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aˆIl ‰ruolo della corte di Leone X, 1514-1516$fAlessandro Ferrajoli$ga cura di Vincenzo De Caprio 210 $aRoma$cBulzoni$dc1984 215 $aXXXVIII, 603 p.$d21 cm. 410 1$1001UON00087345$12001 $aEuropa delle Corti$eCentro studi sulle società di antico regime$eBiblioteca del Cinquecento$v23 606 $aItalia$xStoria$xSec. 16.$3UONC075465$2FI 620 $aIT$dRoma$3UONL000004 676 $a945$cSTORIA D'ITALIA$v21 700 1$aFERRAJOLI$bAlessandro$3UONV129372$0170708 702 1$aDE_CAPRIO$bVincenzo$3UONV129373 712 $aBulzoni$3UONV265597$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250221$gRICA 912 $aUON00214250 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI ITA II 1808 $eSI LO 41629 5 1808 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI ITA II non disponibile $eSI LO 41787 5 non disponibile 996 $aRuolo della corte di Leone X, (1514-1516$91262343 997 $aUNIOR
