Hexagram of the Heavens Well, it's a hard one to love, but I like it. The scholarship is impeccable, I dare say, it not being MY field. The subject matter is some of the most obscure ever, being an anonymous technical paper composed around 1375 on mensural notation, an aspect of late medieval or early Renaissance music theory: the division of the maxima into 81 minima, and all of the permutations of the intermediate steps in groups of twos and threes.I assure you that you will have to have read quite a bit else about mensural notation, first just in order to understand this work, and secondly to understand its significance or lack th. th century music theory..
