Long abstractThe history of transmission of Aristotle in the West is surpris-ingly complex, and it attaches (but what doesn’t?) to period distinctions between medieval and modern. For instance, the propagation of Aristotle’s Physics is contemporary with the rise of instrumentaria, that is, making things to measure other things, but also production of musical instruments. The first graduated thermometers appear throughout Europe around the turn of the sixteenth century, roughly the same time when the writing of poetry and playing musical instruments become both more popular and more specialized. In that period, lutes become more widespread as middle class possessions, leading historians to catalogue lutes as a means to establish the rise of early modern middle class in Paris. This is the period of spe-cialization when teaching, writing and publishing music is decoupled from writing poetry. That transformative time for Physics is also when some intellectuals move away from the traditional Averroes’s commentary on Aristotle’s Poetics and in creasingly rely on direct translations from the Greek.
