' Pictagoras turn per martellas fabricantum, ' Antea confusas numerantur tetrarde niusas. * Quern Musis general medium concordia vera ' Qui tropus ex parte Boicius edidit. ' Unum composuit ad gamma vetus tetrachordum. ' Et dici meruit fuisse Guido monochordum ' Gregorius musas primo carnalitur usas, ' Usu sanctarum mutavit Basilicarum. ' Ast Augustinus formam fert psalmodizandi, ' Atque chori regimen Bernardus Monachus offert, ' Ethimologiarum statuit coadjutor Isidorus ' Pausas juncturas, fact...uras, atque figuras ; ' Mensuraturam formavit Franco notarum, ' Et John De Muris, variis floruitque figuris. ' Anglia cantorum nomen gignit plurimoruni. '* Sect. IV. Entitled De Musicse instrumentali et ejus Inventoribns, gives first a very superficial account of the inventors of some particular instruments, among whom two of the nine Muses, namely, Eu- terpe and Terpsichore, are mentioned ; the first as having invented the Tuba, [trumpet] and the other the Psalterium. This must appear to every one little better than a mere fable ; but the author closes this account with a positive assertion that the Tym- panum, or drum, was the invention of Petrus de Sancta Cruce.
