“Kircher’s Phonurgia expresses a wish to enrich and widen the knowledge already existing in the field of architectural and musical acoustics. Written in Latin, the Phonurgia is an original mixture of Baroque aesthetics and sonic enquiry that could be called in Italian “meraviglia” or in English, “wonder,” and yet only a few studies of this fascinating work exist.”
