To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By these, the cures of manners and passions were made, and the harmonies of the faculties of their souls were reduced to their primitive dispositions, and cures of distempers, both of body and mind, were invented by him.615 And that music which was most worthy to be taken notice of, he reserved for his disciples—those which were called [“preparations”] and [“contact, touch”],† both by weight and by sound—he composed them harmonically in a strange way. He made commixtures of those tones which are... called Diatonic, Chromatic, and Enharmonic. By means of these, he changed all the passions of the mind which were newly raised in them without reason—and which did procure griefs, angers, pities, unseemly loves, fears, all kind of desires, vexations, appetites, softnesses, idlenesses, and impetuosities—correcting and directing every one of these towards virtue, by convenient harmonies, as by certain effectual medicines.
And at night when his disciples went to sleep, he delivered them from all the noises and troubles of the day, and purified the perturbations of their minds, and rendered their sleeps quiet with good dreams and predictions.
