Since the dawn of humanity, people have developed concepts about
themselves and the natural world in which they live. This volume
aims at investigating the construction and transfer of such
concepts between and within various ancient and medieval cultures.
The single contributions try to answer questions concerning the
sources of knowledge, the strategies of transfer and legitimation
as well as the conceptual changes over time and space. After a
comprehensive introduction, the volume is divided into three parts:
The contributions of the first section treat various theoretical
and methodological aspects. Two additional thematic sections deal
with a special field of knowledge, i.e. concepts of the moon and of
the end of the world in fire.
