A book

[Gilad]

I am looking for a book where I can find information about Kepler's research about the connection between the planets and the music intervals. I once had some papers taken from such a book (called something like "a little book of stars"), but lost them.

I would be very happy if someone had heard about something like that.

Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to SGL.

I'm not acquainted with the book you mention, but there is a discussion of Kepler's "Harmonic Ordering" of the solar system in chapter 7 of this paper on Ceres.

Hello and a warm welcome to the SGL. I am not familiar with the book you mention but there is plenty of information on this topic on the internet.

Hi and welcome. I'm pretty confident that someone on here will be able to come up with what you're looking for.

It wasn't Harmonices Mundi was it?  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonices_Mundi

Maybe there's an English translation from the Latin.

Or there is a book entitled The Little Book of Stars

In his famous book "The Sleepwalkers", Arthur Koestler describes (Part Four, Chapter II and III; about 35 pages) a lot of details around Kepler's "Mysterium Cosmographicum", embedded in it's various contexts; an interesting read (as is the whole book, very recommendable!)

Hi Gilad,

there is a freely available translation of  Harmonies of the World, by Johannes Kepler (mentioned above) and Project Gutenberg has some titles on Kepler that briefly touch upon the topic.
