Antiquity saw the development of influential forms of the creation and organization of knowledge, not just in social and theoretical terms, but also with regard to the practice of research. These forms of knowledge and their transformations are the focus of this volume. The subject is not the simple recognition of the reception of ancient knowledge in later cultures, but rather the establishment and development of the complex of factors that together comprise science.
