Around A. D. 500, a young Roman intellectual A. M. S. Boethius collected all the existing knowledge on music and presented it in form of an extensive Latin treatise. He was convinced that a deep comprehension of music (as well as any other discipline of the quadrivium) was an indispensable basis of any scholarship and philosophical inquiry. Boethius' text that was discovered only in the Carolingian times, became the starting point of European music theory, and on Boethius' theorems many excellent scholars and thinkers of the past centuries (not just musicians) trained their intellects. The edition includes Boethius' Latin text, the synoptically running translation into Slovenian with annotations, the Slovenian-Latin glossary of Boethius' terms, and the bibliography.

Kmalu po letu 500 je mladi rimski intelektualec A. M. S. Boetij zbral vse dostopno antično vedenje o glasbi in ga ubesedil v latinsko pisanem traktatu. Prepričan je bil, da je vedenje o glasbi (kot tudi o ostalih predmetih kvadrivialnih disciplin) nujna in neobhodna osnova vsakega spoznavanja in vse filozofije. Boetijevo zahtevno besedilo, ki ga je odkril šele karolinški čas, je postalo izhodišče evropske glasbene teorije in ob njegovih teoremih se je ostril razum intelektualcev, ne samo glasbenih, skozi stoletja. Izdaja prinaša urejeno latinsko besedilo, vzporedno z njim slovenski prevod, opremljen z opombami, slovensko-latinski pojmovnik Boetijeve glasbene teorije ter bibliografijo.
