Abstract

We here present the Arabic text, with a parallel English translation, of certain pages dedicated by Al-Khayyam to the mathematical theory of music. Our edition is based on a manuscript extant in a library in Manisa (Turkey), and corrects the mistakes found in another transcription. Lastly, we compare the theory of Al-Khayyam with other Arabic theories of Music, and with those coming from other traditions.
