Inhaltsangabe
Unraveling Posidonian scholarship through a careful, source‑driven inquiry.
This inaugural dissertation examines what Posidonius taught about geography, mathematics, and celestial bodies. It traces how scholars over the centuries have read Cleomedes and others, and how later editors and editors’ notes shape our understanding. The work foregrounds a method of weighing ancient sources, testing claims, and situating Posidonian fragments within the wider tradition of Hellenistic science and philosophy. The edition also engages with textual questions, source attributions, and the limits of ancient testimony, offering readers a guided look at how classical ideas were formed.
- Close study of Posidonius on geometry, astronomy, and the size of the sun.
- Discussion of how later authors reference Posidonian ideas and how editors present them.
- Analysis of the debates about Cleomedes, Eratosthenes, and Ptolemy’s influence.
- Critical apparatus and notes that illuminate the transmission of ancient knowledge.
Ideal for readers of classical philosophy and ancient science who value careful source criticism and historical context.
