Summary/Abstract: An annotated translation of the Manual of Harmonics by Nicomachus of Gerasa (the first century A. D.), prepared by Andrej Schetnikov (ΣΙΓΜΑ: The Centre for Educational Projects, Novosibirsk), supplements his recent translation of the Introduction to Arithmetic by this famous Neopythagorean philosopher. This short treatise, important for the history of ancient mathematics and musical theory, is completely translated into Russian for the first time. The author thanks Ludmila Alexandrova and Timothy Myakin (Novosibirsk University) for sending his unpublished translation of the Manual, which has proven to be very helpful.
