    Isn’t it in Pirkei Avos? Or are you talking about something else?

    Liberal Arts and branches of Social science were excluded on purpose

    Unless you put some under the umbrella of musicology

    Google yielded a few varied results in books:

    From a book titled Sefer Yetzireh by Rav Aryeh Kaplan: The seven Sciences – Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, and Astronomy. Footnote for source not available for free.

    From Encyclopedia of Jewish Medical Ethics: A Compilation of Jewish Medical Law … By Avraham Steinberg: The medieval scientists listed seven branches of knowledge – Logic, Mathematics, Measurements, Natural Science, Astronomy, Music, and Theology. The footnote claims this is from Rabbenu Bachya on Avos, end of Perek 3, and Maharal Nesivos Olam, Netiv Hatorah, Perek 14.

    I was talking about something else- the 7 signs of a chacham vs a shoteh (I think it’s 7). I thought that’s what he meant.

    But thanks for answering me.
