The Concept of Harmony, a keystone of Leibniz’s philosophical System, results from a tradition that is deeply rooted in the ancient and medieval thought. In the wake of the Augustinian concept of «ordo rerum», medieval thinkers saw the Universe as an ordered and well structured whole that is both the result and the reflect of the Unity of God. In such a Universe, Angels have an intermediary function between the first principle and the material world; they namely act as celestial movers, thus determining the course of natural processes and the becoming of the material world. Insofar as circular movement of celestial Spheres is the greatest reflection of the fundamental harmony within the whole divine creation, angels contribute, more than any other creature, to the universal harmony.
