With respect to historical terminologies, however, research has been dominated by linguistic approaches. Breaking new ground, Coming to Terms collects eleven articles that combine an interest in the history of knowledge, mostly ancient Greek, with research on scientific terminologies. They all share an interest in terminological practices, that is, questions such as how and when to coin a term and then what to do with it. Among the fields discussed are astronomy, the Roman surveyors, Aristotelian science, Renaissance and modern biology, contemporary medicine, ancient Chinese philosophy, 20th-century physics, and colonial linguistics. Confronting ancient with modern terminologies, the collection intends to test integrative interpretive approaches. Thus, the collection documents how rich ancient (and modern) terminologies are and shows that they are, beyond lexicography, worth being studied per se. 410 0$aScience, technology, and medicine in ancient cultures ;$vv. 14. 606 $aScience, Ancient$xTerminology 606 $aAristoteles 606 $aTerminologie 606 $aantike Wissenschaft 606 $aSciences anciennes$xTerminologie 606 $aHISTORY / Ancient / General$2bisacsh 615 0$aScience, Ancient$xTerminology. 615 4$aAristoteles. 615 4$aTerminologie. 615 4$aantike Wissenschaft. 615 6$aSciences anciennes$xTerminologie. 615 7$aHISTORY / Ancient / General. 676 $a509.30014 702 $aAsper$b Markus$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838175903321 996 $aComing to terms$93958206 997 $aUNINA
