  John Birchensha (c 1605-1681) is chiefly remembered for the impression that his theories about music made on the mathematicians, natural philosophers and virtuosi of the Royal Society in the 1660s and 1670s. This book allows scholars to see how Birchensha's rules and theories developed over a period of fifteen years.
