Our understanding of science, mathematics, and medicine today can be deeply enriched by studying the historical roots of these areas of inquiry in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean. The fields of ancient science and mathematics have in recent years witnessed remarkable growth. The present volume brings together contributions from more than thirty of the most important scholars working in these fields in the United States and Europe in honor of the eminent historian of ancient science and medicine Heinrich von Staden, Professor Emeritus of Classics and History of Science at the Institute of Advanced Study and William Lampson Professor Emeritus of Classics and Comparative Literature at Yale University. The papers range widely from Mesopotamia to Ancient Greece and Rome, from the first millennium B.C. to the early medieval period, and from mathematics to philosophy, mechanics to medicine, representing both a wide diversity of national traditions and the cutting edge of the international scholarly community.

Mit der GrA1/4ndung des Corpus der antiken A"rzte an der KAniglich PreuAischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde die Erforschung der antiken Medizin zu einem integrierenden Bestandteil der Klassischen Philologie in Deutschland. Das Corpus Medicorum Graecorum, das eine wissenschaftsgeschichtliche BrA1/4ckenfunktion zwischen Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften erfA1/4llt, war von Anfang an auf internationale Kooperation ausgerichtet und ist bis heute weltweit das wissenschaftlich maAgebende Unternehmen fA1/4r die Edition antiker medizinischer Texte. In den letzten Jahrzehnten ist, vor allem im europAischen Ausland und in den USA, das Interesse an der antiken Medizin in allen ihren Facetten stark gewachsen. Die am 14. und 15. Mai 2004 von der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften veranstaltete und der DFG finanzierte internationale Fachkonferenz verfolgte das Ziel, die Editionsphilologie auf diesem Gebiet zu stimulieren, auf dem sich philologische Arbeit mit medizinisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen verbindet. Ausgewiesene Spezialisten nahmen als Referenten an der Konferenz teil, die dem Arbeitsstellenleiter des CMG, Dr. sc. Diethard Nickel, anlAsslich seines 65. Geburtstages gewidmet war.
