The works and ideas of classical antiquity had an enormous influence on Islam, not only in its philosophy, science and medicine but also in its religious disciplines. "The Classical Heritage in Islam" presents a collection of texts which reveal the extent and character of Muslim acquaintance with Hellenistic civilization and demonstrate the ways that Greek heritage influenced later Muslim thought.
The classical tradition exercised a decisive influence on the Muslim
preoccupation with musical theory, the ethos of music, and the history of musical
instruments. The great work of R. d'Erlanger (La Musique arabe [Paris, 1930-59])
makes available in French translation the results of their interest in musical theory
. The wide-ranging ethical effects of music have frequently been touched upon
but so far less intensively studied; there is a good introduction on the subject by I.
