| Zusammenfassung: | We access Greek and Roman scientific ideas mainly through those texts which happen to survive. By concentrating only on the ideas conveyed, we may limit our understanding of the meaning of those ideas in their historical context. Through considering the diverse ways in which scientific ideas were communicated, in different types of texts, we can uncover otherwise hidden meanings and more fully comprehend the historical contexts in which those ideas were produced and shared, the aims of the authors and the expectations of ancient readers. Liba Taub explores the rich variety of formats used to discuss scientific, mathematical and technical subjects, from c.700 BCE to the sixth century CE. Each chapter concentrates on a particular genre - poetry, letter, encyclopaedia, commentary and biography - offering an introduction to Greek and Roman scientific ideas, while using a selection of ancient writings to focus on the ways in which we encounter them |

By concentrating only on the ideas conveyed, we may limit our understanding of the meaning of those ideas in their historical context. Through considering the diverse ways in which scientific ideas were communicated, in different types of texts, we can uncover otherwise hidden meanings and more fully comprehend the historical contexts in which those ideas were produced and shared, the aims of the authors and the expectations of ancient readers. Liba Taub explores the rich variety of formats used to discuss scientific, mathematical and technical subjects, from c.700 BCE to the sixth century CE. Each chapter concentrates on a particular genre - poetry, letter, encyclopaedia, commentary and biography - offering an introduction to Greek and Roman scientific ideas, while using a selection of ancient writings to focus on the ways in which we encounter them Geschichte Anfänge-1500 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Scientific literature / History / To 1500 Technical writing / History / To 1500 Science, Ancient Antike (DE-588)4068754-5 gnd rswk-swf Wissenschaft (DE-588)4066562-8 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Technik (DE-588)4059205-4 gnd rswk-swf Schrifttum (DE-588)4255550-4 gnd rswk-swf Wissenschaftliche Literatur (DE-588)4066586-0 gnd rswk-swf Altertum (DE-588)4001480-0 gnd rswk-swf Naturwissenschaften (DE-588)4041421-8 gnd rswk-swf Altertum (DE-588)4001480-0 s Wissenschaft (DE-588)4066562-8 s Wissenschaftliche Literatur (DE-588)4066586-0 s Technik (DE-588)4059205-4 s Schrifttum (DE-588)4255550-4 s Geschichte Anfänge-1500 z DE-604 Antike (DE-588)4068754-5 s Naturwissenschaften (DE-588)4041421-8 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s 1\p DE-604 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, hardback 978-0-521-11370-0 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, paperback 978-05-211-3063-9 https://doi.org/10.1017/9781139030762 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
