Sommario/riassunto

Dies ist die erste umfassende Untersuchung der Schriften des Aristoteles-Schülers Eudemos von Rhodos über die Geschichte der mathematischen Wissenschaften. Die Fragmente dieser drei Schriften sind unabdingbar für unser Verständnis von Inhalt, Form und Zielen der peripatetischen Historiographie der Wissenschaft. Zunächst diskutiert Zhmud diejenigen Züge des vorsokratischen, sophistischen und platonischen Denkens, die zur Entwicklung einer Wissenschaftsgeschichte beigetragen haben. Im zweiten Teil analysiert er eingehend Eudemos' Schriften und ihre Beziehungen zur wissenschaftlichen Literatur seiner Zeit, zur aristotelischen Philosophie



und zu anderen historiographischen Genres am Lyzeum: zur Biographie und zur naturphilosophischen und medizinischen Doxographie. Obwohl es der peripatetischen Wissenschaftsgeschichte nicht gelang, sich als ein kontinuierliches Genre zu behaupten, trug sie maßgeblich sowohl zur Entstehung einer mittelalterlichen arabischen Historiographie der Wissenschaft als auch zur Entwicklung dieses Fachgebiets in Europa vom 16. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert bei.

This is the first comprehensive study of what remains of the writings of Aristotle's student Eudemus of Rhodes on the history of the exact sciences. These fragments are crucial to our understanding of the content, form, and goal of the Peripatetic historiography of science. The first part of the book presents an analysis of those trends in Presocratic, Sophistic and Platonic thought that contributed to the development of the history of science. The second part provides a detailed study of Eudemus' writings in their relationship with the scientific literature of his time, Aristotelian philosophy and the other historiographic genres practiced at the Lyceum: biography, medical and natural-philosophical doxography. Although Peripatetic historiography of science failed in establishing itself as a continuous genre, it greatly contributed both to the birth of the Arabic medieval historiography of science and to the development of this genre in Europe in the 16th-18th centuries.
