  1. 1. The Origin Of The History Of Science In Classical Antiquity

    A study of how ancient Greek scholars first conceptualized and wrote the history of science, tracing the emergence of historiography of mathematics, astronomy, and medicine within the Peripatetic tradition; reconstructing the lost accounts of early thinkers from later testimonies; examining doxographical methods alongside biographical and chronological tools; and showing how ideas of discovery, authorship, and progress took shape and were transmitted through Hellenistic and late antique scholarship, revealing both the ambitions and limits of early narratives about scientific development.
