Aristoxenus of Tarentum: The Pythagorean Precepts (How to Live a Pythagorean Life) from Part I - Introduction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 October 2019
Although the Suda tells us that Aristoxenus composed an astounding 453 works (fr. 1 Wehrli), only two treatises have come down to us in the manuscript tradition and both are works on musical theory, i.e. some pages from the second book of Rhythmics and the Elementa Harmonica, which appears to combine two or more different works by Aristoxenus (Barker 2007: 113–35). No list of Aristoxenus’ writings survives from antiquity.
