The fields of ancient science and mathematics have in recent years witnessed remarkable growth. The present volume brings together contributions from more than thirty of the most important scholars working in these fields in the United States and Europe in honor of the eminent historian of ancient science and medicine Heinrich von Staden, Professor Emeritus of Classics and History of Science at the Institute of Advanced Study and William Lampson Professor Emeritus of Classics and Comparative Literature at Yale University. The papers range widely from Mesopotamia to Ancient Greece and Rome, from the first millennium B.C. to the early medieval period, and from mathematics to philosophy, mechanics to medicine, representing both a wide diversity of national traditions and the cutting edge of the international scholarly community.Beiträge zur Altertumskunde.Medicine, Greek and RomanElectronic books.Medicine, Greek and Roman.509Holmes BrookeFischer Klaus-DietrichMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464173903321The frontiers of ancient science2310338UNINA
