Review - French Stimule par ses contacts avec le monde musulman, l'Occident connait a la fin du IXsiecle un regain d'interet pour les sciences du nombre. Actifs artisans de ce renouveau du savoir, les moines reformateurs revisitent alors quelques instruments connus de l'epoque greco-romaine tels l'astrolabe et le monocorde. Entre leurs mains, cependant, ces objets de mesure et d'observation se muent en outils de meditation. A travers les textes, les enluminures et les traites de musique, l'auteur retrace la naissance de cette ?science de la contemplation? fondee sur les nombres.
