EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece from the Phonurgia nova (1673) by an unknown artist transports us back to the 17th century, immersing us in the world of music and scholarly pursuits. Housed at the Museo Civico Bibliografico Musicale in Bologna, Italy, this print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680), a German Jesuit scholar. The intricate details of this artwork draw our attention as we explore its composition. The central figure, presumably Kircher himself, stands proudly amidst a symphony of musical instruments and scientific apparatuses. His gaze is fixed upon a celestial sphere above him, symbolizing his relentless quest for knowledge and understanding. Surrounding Kircher are various allegorical figures representing different aspects of music and sound. They seem to come alive with each note played or word spoken - their ethereal presence adding depth to this visual narrative. As we delve into the Phonurgia nova's pages through this frontispiece, we are reminded of Kircher's profound contributions to musicology and acoustics during his time. This book serves as a testament to his tireless dedication towards unraveling the mysteries behind sound production and transmission. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful capture of this print ensures that its historical significance remains accessible for generations to come. Through her lens, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the intellectual curiosity embedded within these pages – an invitation to embark
