Abstract

Analysis, facsimile reproduction and translation of Juan Andrés’ «Letter on Arab Music», dated Mantua, March 29, 1785, addressed to Giambattista Toderini and published in his Letteratura turchesca (1787). All the oriental knowledge is condensed in this small letter which, with the help of Miguel Casiri, allows the Valencian Jesuit to begin the academic studies on Arab music. Supported by an al-F?r?b? manuscript, the goal of the epistle is to validate in musicological terms the influence of Arab musical art on European music, and in general the ‘Arab Thesis’ presented in the first volume of his Dell’Origine, progressi e stato attuale d’ogni letteratura.
