Keywords: Ancient acoustic science; harmonics; experiments with musical instruments; the transmission of sound; pitch and velocity; the Pythagorean ratio theory
Summary/Abstract: A collection of questions and answers on the subject of music, Book XIX of the Aristotelian vast Problemata, translated into the Russian for the first time, was compiled, as the majority of scholars agree, in Lyceum during and after Aristotle's time, in the late fourth and the early third centuries BCE. Unlike later manuals, the collection is marked by its diversity: it proposes a range of working hypotheses and offers alternative explanations for the same phenomenon, a rare witness of vivid school discussions of the scientific matters.
