Overview

In the early modern period, authors drew extensively on ancient forms and models to introduce their readership to new insights into nature. The twelve contributions in this anthology are the first to address this finding, which is surprising from today's perspective. They examine a wide range of authors and text genres-from Hippocrates to Leibniz and from aphorisms to didactic poems-and at the same time ask for constants in the diversity of forms and content. The volume is aimed at anyone interested in classical antiquity, its reception, the history of the natural sciences and the intellectual history of the early modern period.
