First edition. Contemporary full marbled calf binding. Smooth spine decorated with fleurons in compartments. Red morocco title label. Good copy. Jean Jacques Barthélémy (1716-1795) was first an ecclesiastic before becoming an archaeologist, man of letters and numismatist. Before publishing the famous voyage of Anacharsis, he became known through numerous scholarly researches which he endeavored to make accessible to a broader public, not only in Anacharsis, but also in this work on Greek music, in which an Athenian is found dialoguing with a disciple of Plato. Barthélémy furthermore dwells on the significance of music for the Athenians, drawing directly from the writings of Plato.
