  • Hellenistic Mathematics

    Fabio Acerbi, Paul T Keyser et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Science and…2018

    The article analyses the forms and texts of Hellenistic mathematics. Three stylistic codes were employed in these texts, each related to a specific mathematical content: the demonstrative, the procedural, and the algorithmic code. Greek mathematical works, such as those by Apollonius of Perge, were not diffused through official channels, and instead were usually sent to some addressee, and were frequently preceded by a prefatory epistle, so each …

  • Author's Response

    John ScarboroughARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2004

    Author's Response John Scarborough (bio) Initially, Flemming acknowledges the template of feminist approaches in the widely known studies by Joan Scott and Judith Butler, but perceptive readers will note that Flemming does not implant any modern paradigms of gender or sex as basic in her analysis (Medicine, pp. 22-25 with nn. 40-45). In fact, she carefully qualifies the use of such paradigms, writing, "This focus on the failure of the past to con…

  • Medicine and the Making of Roman Women

    John ScarboroughARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2003

    All the authorities are here: Celsus, Aretaeus of Cappadocia, Rufus of Ephesus, Soranus of Ephesus (whose "Methodism" stands in marked contrast to the rest), and of course Galen in his polymathic depth and breadth. One also gains a rather perceptive picture of Caelius Aurelianus and his presumed rendering into Latin of Soranus's lost writings, especially on acute and chronic diseases. Peeping through at appropriate moments are Dioscorides of Anaz…

    John ScarboroughCHAPTERMagika hiera1991

    Greek botany produced the landmark Inquiry into Plantsby Theophrastus of Eresus (c. 370-288 B.c.), and this work stands as one of the most remarkable documents of the Peripatetic school. Along with his Causes of Plants, Theophrastus’ Inquiry set a pattern followed in Western botany until the invention of a sexual parts nomenclature by Linnaeus in the eighteenth century. Yet, although morphology dominates Theophrastus’ Inquiry, one finds at the en…
