Reviews

""Heller-Roazen brings remarkable gifts and skills to his inquiry. Formidably learned and versed in many languages, he has also steeped himself in the original texts and in the manifold and difficult interpretative directions that have struggled with this archetypal narrative. . . . I thoroughly admired Heller-Roazen’s thoughtful and beautiful writing in The Fifth Hammer."" * Isis * ""This tightly reasoned book rewards close study, and will be of interest to astronomers, mathematicians, and students of musical history."" * The Sun News *
