EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece from the book "Phonurgia nova" takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a world of music and scholarly pursuits. Created by an unknown artist, this print showcases the intricate details and symbolism that were characteristic of the time. The central figure in the composition is Athanasius Kircher, a renowned German Jesuit scholar whose study of music greatly influenced his contemporaries. Kircher's dedication to unraveling the mysteries of sound is evident as he stands confidently amidst musical instruments and scientific apparatuses. Surrounding him are various elements that represent different facets of music: sheet music, musical notes floating in mid-air, and even celestial bodies harmoniously aligned. This imagery suggests that music has a profound connection with both earthly and heavenly realms. The meticulous craftsmanship displayed in this frontispiece reflects not only the artistic skills but also the intellectual depth prevalent during this era. It serves as a testament to Kircher's contribution to understanding sound and its role in human expression. Preserved at Museo Civico Bibliografico Musicale in Bologna, Italy, this print offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with music. Through Luisa Ricciarini's lens capturing every detail flawlessly, we can appreciate both the beauty of artistry and its ability to transcend time.
