Manuel d'harmonique et autres textes relatifs à la musique - Nicomachus c. 60–c. 120; Ruelle, Ch.-Em. (Paris Baur, 1881)
Ruelle was a French classical philologist and musicologist
Nicomachus was an Ancient Greek Neopythagorean philosopher. Like many Pythagoreans, Nicomachus wrote about the mystical properties of numbers, best known for his works Introduction to Arithmetic and Manual of Harmonics, which are an important resource on Ancient Greek mathematics and Ancient Greek music in the Roman period. Nicomachus' work on arithmetic became a standard text for Neoplatonic education in Late antiquity. A Latin paraphrase by Boethius of Nicomachus's works on arithmetic and music became standard textbooks in medieval education.
