Der vorliegende Band vereinigt in leicht A1/4berarbeiteter Form drei VortrAge, die im Juni 2003 auf einer Tagung im brandenburgischen ehemaligen Zisterzienserkloster Lehnin zu Ehren des international renommierten Mittellateinischen Philologen Fritz Wagner anlAsslich seiner Emeritierung gehalten wurden. Das Spektrum der Beitragsthemen, das von aktuellen Fragen und Problemen der mittelalterlichen Baugeschichte (G. Binding) A1/4ber christliche Blutwunderberichte (W. KAhler) aus der Sicht der heutigen Naturwissenschaft bis zu "Gedanken zur Entstehung der italienischen Renaissance" (C. Zintzen) reicht, spiegelt das breite Forschungsspektrum Fritz Wagners wider, das weit A1/4ber die Grenzen einer im strengen Sinne betriebenen Mittellateinischen Philologie hinausgeht. Eingeleitet wird der Band durch "laudationes," die aus unterschiedlicher Perspektive seine GelehrtenpersAnlichkeit und seine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn wA1/4rdigen.

The categories of this historical astrology study are derived from the actions of projection and reflexion of sociomorphic models (E. Topisch): Which earthly example of doryphory ("speer bearing") is projected on the heavens? Which celestial phenomena are described as doryphory, and where lie the analogies of earthly example and heavenly effigy. The author systematically translates and analyses all Greek and Roman sources on planetary doryphory up to the 7th century, as well as selected later sources up to Kepler.

Menodotus of Nicomedia (II AD) has usually been considered as one of the most important among the physicians of the so-called Greek Empirical school, as well as, according to an-cient testimonies, a leading figure of Skepticism and, at least until mid-20th century, a fore-runner of modern experimental science. This book offers the first scientific monograph en-tirely devoted to an empirical doctor, together with a collection of fragments in the form of a "running commentary." In the resulting frame, a more reliable historical position is re-covered for Menodotus (and, through him, for the last development of Greek empirical medicine), and the usual picture is substantially altered. Main lines of the work are the problem of sources, which can be identified almost exclusively with the famous doctor Galen, and of their trustworthiness; the misunderstood role of Menodotus as a source of Galen for his picture of Empiricism; the mutual relationship between the concepts of reason and experience, and the problematical acceptance of the former into the empirical doctrine; the relationship of Menodotus to his forerunners, not only inside the school but also in the post-Aristotelian history of medicine and philosophy, starting from Diocles of Carystus and up to Heraclides of Tarentum and to the Epicureanism of Philodemus. The Introduction tries a.o. to understand the role of Greek Empiricism in the history of science. The book also contains a detailed bibliography and five Indexes, as well as an Epilegomenon, in which the authenticity of some works of Galen concerning Empiricism is discussed.
